    Lets call adult as X and children as Y

    2 (X) + 4 (Y) = $50

    Adult ticket is $8 more than children

    X=Y+8

    Plugging the above in the first equation

    2 (Y+8) + 4 (Y) = 50

    2Y+16 + 4Y=50

    6Y+16=50

    6Y=50-16

    6Y=34

    Y=34/6

    Y=5.67

    X=5.67+8

    X=13.67

    Adult = $13.67
