    Ali-13

    Ben-26

    Joe-34

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Ali-x

    Ben-2x

    Joe-2x+8

    x+2x+2x+8=73

    3x+2x+8=73

    5x+8=73

    5x=73-8

    5x=65

    x=65/5

    =13

    Ali sells 13 tickets

    Ben sells 13*2

    =26 tickets

    Joe sells (13*2) + 8

    =34 tickets
