    Upper level = 2502 seats

    Middle level = 5044 seats

    Lower level = 7456 seats

    Step-by-step explanation: given that

    A baseball stadium holds 15,002 seats.

    Let the Upper, middle and lower levels be represented as U, M and L respectively. And x = number of seat at the upper level

    The lower level has 50 fewer than three times as many seats as the upper. That is

    L = 3x - 50 ... (1)

    The middle level has 40 more than twice as many seats as the upper level. That is

    M = 2x + 40

    Where L = x

    x + (2x + 40) + (3x - 50) = 15,002

    You solved for x and found out the upper level has 2,502 seats. How many seats are in the lower level and how many seats are in the middle?

    That is x = 2502

    Substitute x into equation 1

    L = 3 (2502) - 50

    L = 7456 seats

    Substitutes x into equation 2

    M = 2 (2502) + 40

    M = 5044 seats
