X = smaller number, y = larger number
x + y = 15.....x = 15 - y
4x = 2y - 60
4(15 - y) = 2y - 60
60 - 4y = 2y - 60
60 + 60 = 2y + 4y
120 = 6y
120/6 = y
20 = y <==== larger number is 20
x + y = 15
x + 20 = 15
x = 15 - 20
x = - 5

Mary = (1/3)x
Erin = x - 8
John = x
Here is your equation:
(1/3)x + (x - 8) + x = 267
Take it from here.
I can’t seen the question so it is hard to answer
Im not in this math section yet but i think that you can look it up as a worksheet and find the answer on google.
