I suggest solving this as a system of equations. Let x be the number of Ali's stamps and y be the number of Betty's.
x = y+85
x/3 = 2y/3
Now, you can set the x from the first equation in stead of the one in second:
(y+85)/3 = 2y/3
y+85 = 2y
y=85
Now that you know the number of stamps Betty has, you can find the number Ali has.
x = y+85
x/3 = 2y/3
Now, you can set the x from the first equation in stead of the one in second:
(y+85)/3 = 2y/3
y+85 = 2y
