    a = adult tickets

    c = child

    c + a = 163 tickets total

    rewrite as c = 163-a

    5.10c + 9.00a = 1088.70

    5.10 (163-a) + 9.00a = 1088.70

    831.30-5.10a + 9.00a = 1088.70

    831.30 + 3.9a = 1088.70

    3.9a = 1088.70-831.30

    3.9a = 257.40

    a = 257.40 / 3.9 = 66

    66 adult tickets were sold
