I cannot read the full text of problems 2 and 3, but I agree with x=450
2/3 x + 2/3x=x+150 (two performances at 2/3 capacity = total tickets sold)
4/3x=x+150
4x=3x+450
x=450

dear friend consider ‘x’ be the capacity of hall.so tickets sold
are x+150.audiance are divided in 2 groups for each programme. so in each group people are (x+150)/2. each group is equal to 2/3 of capacity
so (x+150)/2=2x/3
solving eqn we get x=450
