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
