Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let:

For the capacity, we have:

For the tickets sold, we have:

Half as many as adults are children implies that:

Required
Solve for A, C and S
The equations to solve are:
-- (1)
-- (2)
-- (3)
Make C the subject in (3)

Substitute
in (1) and (2)
-- (1)


Make S the subject

-- (2)



Substitute 



Solve for A


Recall that: 


Recall that: 



Hence, the result is:



You have to distribute the parentheses first. Since there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses, it counts as a negative 1. After you distribute you should get: -5+6x=20x+12, but that is not your final answer. After you add like terms: 17x=-17. Divide 17 on both sides: x=-1. X=-1 is your final answer.
