If we let 'x' equal the number of adult tickets then 8-x is the number of kid tickets.   Te revenue from adult tickets would be $8 times x and the revenue from kid tickets would be $3 times 8-x.   Summed together the revenues would equal $ 33.   Then you solve for 'x' the number of adult tickets and  8-x  the number of kid tickets.
