Answer:
x>11 I'm pretty sure but don't quote me on it, I did it in my head
Increase is a term used for add. So we have to find the number that is increased by 10 to make 114. So take 10 from 114 and you will get the answer.
Put the number of daughters as x and number of sons as y.
For the first half of the statement:
Number of sisters any daughter has = x-1 ( because you can't be your own sibling)
Number of brothers = y
y=x-1.
For the second half:
Number of sisters any son has = x
Number of brothers any son has = y-1
3(y-1)=x
Solve as system of equations.
3y-3=x
3(x-1)-3=x
3x-3-3=x
2x=6
x=3
y=x-1=3-1=2
3 daughters and 2 sons.
Hope this helps!
Your fortune is "You can't have everything...where would you put them all?"
The number ... n
one quarter of the number ... 1/4 of n = 1/4 * n
one third of the number ... 1/3 of n = 1/3 * n
one quarter of the number is subtracted from one third of the number ... 1/3 * n - 1/4 * n
the result is 7 ... = 7
We can put it together:
1/3 * n - 1/4 * n = 7
4/12 * n - 3/12 * n = 7
1/12 * n = 7 /*12
n = 7 * 12
n = 84
The number you are looking for is 84.
