answer : 2x + 20 = 85

explanation: from here, you would solve to find the value of x. to do this, you subtract 20 from each side of the equation, leaving you with the new equation: 2x = 65. From here, divide both sides by 2. This leaves you with the final answer being x = 32.5. since you can’t sell half a ticket, you would need to round up to get the full number of tickets to be 33. Therefore, Seth would need to sell 33 tickets to make at LEAST $85
