dalia_lam, Thank you! When comparing, I see where I went wrong too - thank you so much for laying it out since that is where I found the real answer to get it right.

Let x the number of adults and y the number of children in the family respectively.
Since the number of the members of the family equlals 6: x + y = 6 
and because adults' tickets cost 37$ and chidren's cost 27$ each: 37x + 27y = 182
so you have to solve the following system of equations: 
x + y =6
37x + 27y =182
