Answer:
7 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 3 brothers
First , Second, Third
Let the total number cookies be represented by A
1 cookie = 1
Working backwards, we start from the third brother
If we work backwards
It means he gave everything away
We start from the youngest
He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie
This means,
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
The second brother
He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies
Half of what is left from brother
= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie
= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2
= 1.5 + 1/2
= 2 cookies
For the first brother
He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie
= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies
= 3 1/2 + 1/2
= 4 cookies
The first brother got 4 cookies
The second brother got 2 cookies
The third broth got 1 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(1 
, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
7x - y = 7 → (1)
x + 2y = 6 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term
14x - 2y = 14 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
15x = 20 ( divide both sides by 15 )
x = 
= 
= 1
Substitute this value of x into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting in (2)
+ 2y = 6
2y = 6 - = 
( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 
= 2
