    Barett Sold 88 Tickets

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To Start off we are told that the Total of tickets sold between Amelia (A) and Barrett (B) was 137.

    Total = 137

    Since Barett Sold 10 less than twice as many tickets as Amelia, we can make the following equation, where Barett is B and Amelia is A.

    A + B = 137

    A + (2A-10) = 137 (Barett equalls 10 less than twice Amelia)

    Now we can solve the equation for A

    A + (2A-10) = 137

    3A - 10 = 137 (Combine Like Terms)

    3A = 147 (add 10 on both sides)

    A = 49 (divide by 3 on both sides)

    Now that we have the amount of tickets that Amelia sold we can plug it in for B to find out how many tickets Barett Sold

    (2A-10) = B

    (2*49) - 10 = B

    (2A-10) = B

    98 - 10 = B

    88 = B
