p = # of tickets that Poppy sold
f = # of tickets that Felix sold
a = # of tickets that Alexi sold

p + f + a = 700 (first part)
2f = p (second part)
p + 25 = a (third part)

(2f) + 25 = a (substitution)
(2f) + f + (2f + 25) = 700 (more substitution)
5f + 25 = 700
5f = 675
f = 135

2(135) = p (plug it in)
p = 270

270 + 25 = a (plug it in again)
a = 295

Felix: 135 tickets
Poppy: 270 tickets
Alexi: 295 tickets

Hope this helps. :)
