In a family, each brother has as many sisters as brothers, but each sister has twice as many brothers as she has sisters. How ma

daser333 [38]

Answer:

4 brothers and 3 sisters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of brothers and y be the number of sisters in the family.

1. Each brother has x-1 brothers and y sisters. If each brother has as many sisters as brothers, then

$x-1=y.$

2. Each sister has y-1 sisters and x brothers. If each sister has twice as many brothers as she has sisters, then

$2(y-1)=x.$

3. Solve the system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-1=y\\ \\2(y-1)=x\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow 2(y-1)-1=y,\\ \\2y-2-1=y,\\ \\2y-y=2+1,\\ \\y=3.$

Then

$x=y+1=3+1=4.$
