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?"
There are 4 cups per 1 quart...
4/1 × 2/2 = 8/2
There are 8 cups in 2 quarts.
Let x equal Thomas' age. Then Huilan's age is 2x. Set up an equation to model this situation:
x+2x=78
<em>*Combine like terms*</em>
3x=78
<em>*Divide both sides by 3*</em>
x=26
Hope this helps!!

Answer:
2x²-32 ⇒ x²=16⇒ (-4,4)
4x²-100 ⇒x²=25 ⇒(-5,5)
x²-55=9 ⇒x²=64 ⇒(-8,8)
x²-140=-19 ⇒x²=121 ⇒(-11,11)
2x²-18=0 ⇒x²=9 ⇒(-3,3)
