Petra is 13 and her mother is 32. I used this equation:
$p + 2p + 6 = 45$
if you solve for p, you get 13. 13 times 2 plus 6 equals 32. So her mother is 32.

Answer:

Karen had 45 m and m's candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of m and m's candy be 'x'.

Now given:

Karen gave an equal amount of m and m's to herself and four friends.

So we can say that;

Number of people m and m's candy distributed equally = 5

Also Given:

Each person receives m and m's equivalent to the largest one digit number.

Now we know that;

Largest one digit number is 9.

So we can say that;

Each person receives m and m's = 9

We need to find number of m and m's Karen have.

Solution:

So we can say that;

Total number of m and m's Karen have is equal to Number of people m and m's candy distributed equally multiplied by number of m and m's can each person receives.

framing in equation form we get;

Total number of m and m's Karen had = $9\times5 = 45$

Hence Karen had 45 m and m's candy.
