You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Same concert, or not the same concert? A set of concerts from the same performer/s at the same site?

x y children adults prices;

system%2812x%2B3y=162%2C8x%2B3y=122%29

The system is perfectly ready for Elimination Method without making any special adjustments. Quickly solve for x. After that, use either equation to solve for y through substitution.
