Answer:

$10 for child tickets and $4 for adult tickets.                                                      

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = price of adult tickets

     c = price of child tickets

(1)    12a + 6c = 108           (2)    2a + 12c = 128    Multiply (2) by -6

      -12a - 72c = -768

              -66c = -660

                   c = $10                   2a + 12(10) = 128

                                                  2a + 120 = 128

                                                              2a = 8

                                                                a = $4

Something is wrong.  The adult tickets should be more than the child tickets.

But,  according to the info you have given, it comes out to $10 for child tickets and $4 for adult tickets.
