On her birthday Seema decided to donate some money to children of an orphanage home. If there were 8 children less, everyone would have got ₹ 10 more. However, if there were 16 children more, everyone would have got ₹ 10 less. Using the matrix method, find the number of children and the amount distributed by Seema. What values are reflected by Seema’s decision?

Solve for x : `|("a"+"x","a"-"x","a"-"x"),("a"-"x","a"+"x","a"-"x"),("a"-"x","a"-"x","a"+"x")| = 0`, using properties of determinants.
