A total of 375 citations for warnings and speeding tickets of these there were 50 more warnings than speeding tickets How many warnings and how many speeding tickets were issued?

The equation to solve this is : x + (x+50) = 375 therefore 2x = 375-50 or x = 325 divided by 2 = 162.5 speeding tickets = 162.5 warnings = 162.5 + 50 which equals 212.5 proof 212.5+162.5 = 375 I don't know if your state issues a half ticket but certainly your teacher should work out the solution before presenting it.... Since a real solution is impossible with an odd number. Maybe you were only going half fast !
