Let's say patrick=a, paulo=b and joseph=c:

(1) a+b+c=68
(2) a+2=b
(3) b=2c

substituting (2) in (1) gives:

(4) 2a + c = 66 => a = 33 - c/2

(3) in (2) gives:

(5) a+2=2c

(4) in (5):

33 - c/2 + 2 = 2c => 35 = 2.5c => c=14

Joseph got 14 oranges!

Solve for v 3(2v+5=33 simplify as much as possible
vredina [299]

3(2v+5)=33

Simplify both sides of the equation

3(2v+5)=33

Distribute

(3)(2v)+(3)(5)=33

6v+15=33

Subtract 15 from both sides

6v+15-15=33-15

6v=18

Divide both sides by 6

6v/6=18/6

V= 3


I hope that's help !
