The sum that represents the number of tickets sold if 35 tickets were sold Monday, half of the remaining tickets were sold on Tuesday and 14 tickets were sold on Wednesday.
To start solving this, we can assign t as the variable to the total number of tickets that were sold. So, t = 35 (for Monday) + (t - 35)/2 (for Tuesday) + 14 (for Wednesday). To solve this, we can say t = 49 + (t - 35)/2, or 2t = 98 + t - 35, which equals t = 63. Therefore, 63 tickets were sold total.
