Hi

Together the two tours visited 176 cities

Let x represent cities visited by the rock band and (176-x) for the jazz band

Question states:***

(176-x) = x + 92

solving for x

176 - 92 = 2x

84 = 2x 

42 = x, cities visited by the rock band.  jazz band 134 cities (176-42)

CHECKING OUR ANSWER***

134 = 42 + 92 = 134
