Answer:
£90
Step-by-step explanation:
Let M = Malachy's share
and P = Paul's share
and B = Brian's share.
We have three conditions:
(1) M = 2P
(2) P = 3B
(3) M + P + B = 150
Solve for B:
Substitute (2) into (3) (4) M + 3B + B = 150
(5) M + 4B = 150
Substitute (2) into (1) M = 2(3B)
(6) M = 6B
Substitute (6) into (5) 6B + 3B + B = 1 50
(7) B = 15
Solve for P:
Substitute (7) into (2) P = 3×15
(8) P = 45
Solve for M:
Substitute (8) into (1) M = 2×45
M = 90
Malachy gets £90.

For 4 apples we have:

From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
