    Cara had (20-x) tickets that left.

    Tasha had (20-2x) tickets that left.

    Tasha and Cara together

    (20-x) + (20-2x) = 20+20-x-2x=40-3x

    Tasha and Cara together had (40-3x) tickets that left.

    Dad doubled it

    2 * (40-3x)

    Now they have

    (40-3x) + 2 * (40-3x) = 39

    40-3x+80-6x=39

    120-9x=39

    9x=120-39

    9x=81

    x=9

    Cary used 9 tickets.
