Hey there! Hello!
So, for this problem, I don't really see an answer choice that fits along with this description?? The last one is the closest to the answer I believe it is, but still doesn't fit exactly:
Twice a number = 2n
Three more than = +3
Final equation = 2n+3
Perhaps you have a typo either in your question or your answer problem, or I'm just way too tired. Either way, I hope this helped you out, and feel free to ask me any additional questions you may have.

Answer:
Emily: 13, Peter: 9, Joshua: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Emily = x
Peter = Emily - 4 = x - 4
Joshua = 2(Peter) = 2(x - 4)
Total = 40 = Emily + Peter + Joshua = (x) + (x - 4) + 2(x - 4)
40 = 2x - 4 + 2x -8
40 = 4x - 4 - 8
40 = 4x - 12
52 = 4x
x = 13
Emily = 13
Peter = 13 - 4 = 9
Joshua = 2(13 - 4) = 2(9) = 18
13 + 9 +18 = 40
17 lbs and 4 oz. Because it is just doubling.
