Poppy, felix and Alexi sell 700 raffle tickets between them. Poppy sells twice as many tickets as Felix, and Alexi sells 25 more

slavikrds [6]

Let give Poppy = P, Felix = F, Alexi = A
so P+ F + A = 700 ----(1)
P = 2F ----(2)
A = 25 + P ---(3)
we will think in term of P

from (2) F = P/2

from (1) P + F + A = 700
P + P/2 + 25 + P = 700 ---(4)
(4) multiplied by 2
2P + P + 50 + 2P = 1400
5P + 50 = 1400
5P = 1350
so P = 270

so Poppy sold 270 tickets
Felix sold 135 tickets
and Alexi sold 295 tickets //

Answer

x = 2
