Question

two friends pooled the tickets they won from playing video games to get a prize that requires 800 tickets if one friend won 130 more tickets than the other friend, how many tickets did each friend win?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each friend win $465\ tickets$ and $335\ tickets$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> one friend's tickets

y-----> the other friend's tickets

we know that

$x+y=800$

$x=800-y$ ------> equation A

$x=y+130$ ------> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

$800-y=y+130$

$y+y=800-130$

$2y=670$

$y=335\ tickets$

Find x

$x=335+130=465\ tickets$
