Ali-13

Ben-26

Joe-34

Ali-x

Ben-2x

Joe-2x+8

x+2x+2x+8=73

3x+2x+8=73

5x+8=73

5x=73-8

5x=65

x=65/5

=13

Ali sells 13 tickets

Ben sells 13×2

=26 tickets

Joe sells (13×2)+8

=34 tickets

Answer 2

Ali = x

Ben = 2x

Joe = 2x+8

⇒ x+2x+2x+8=73

⇒ 3x+2x+8=73

⇒ 5x+8=73

⇒ 5x=73-8

⇒ x=65/5

⇒ 13

Ali sells 13 tickets.

Ben sells 13×2

= 26 tickets.

Joe sells (13×2)+8

= 34 tickets.
