Oh, this one lol. ok
you gotta read it like its a book.
4 x s(i picked that variable) which is 4s together
4s+12 (if they said'12 less than' then the 12 gotta be adding.)
then u have to divide it so its going to look like this:
4s+12= blah blah blah
'twice the greater number' means you gotta do this: 2(s+2)
so the problem is this: 4s+12=2(s+2)
now you solved it and the answer will beeeeee s=-4

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If A, B, and C are in the ratio of 2:3:5 and they are each getting some amount of money in that ratio, then to find the total amount of money they split is found in Ax + Bx + Cx and we need to solve for x. What we are told is that the smallest share = 210 and obviously A is the smallest share. Therefore,
2x = 210 and x = 105.
The total sum = 210 + 3(105) + 5(105) so
Total sum = 210 + 315 + 525
Total sum = 1050 and
C's share is 525 and
B's share is 315
