Answer:

y=x+14

x+y=58

You sold 22 tickets and your friend sold 36 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let´s name the variables as the following:

x = quantity of tickets sold by you

y = quantity of tiquets sold by your friend

2. As you sold 14 more than your friend, the first equation is:

y=x+14 (Eq.1)

3. As together sold 58 tickets, the second equation is:

x+y=58 (Eq.2)

4. Replacing the Eq. 1 in Eq. 2:

x+x+14=58

2x+14=58

2x=58-14

2x=44

x=\frac{44}{2}

x=22

Then you sold 22 tickets

5. Replacing the value of x result in Eq.1:

y=x+14

y=22+14

y=36

Therefore your friend sold 36 tickets.

X - 14 = y
x + y = 58
