Together, Steve and tom sold 89 raffle tickets. Steve sold 14 more than twice as many raffle tickets as Tom. How many raffle tickets did each boy sell? How many tickets did Tom sell?

Respuesta :

this problem cant be solved the answer has a decimal which would work

the equation would be 2x+14=89 you would divided 89 by 2 and get 44.5 and minus 14 from that which would be 30.5 and that just doesn't make any sense tom would've sold 30.5 tickets and steve would have sold 44.5 but you cant sell half a ticket this makes no sense to me sorry I couldn't help butif you want I can email my middle school math teacher and ask him
