Answer:
brother gets 6 cards
sister gets 3 cards
he gets 15 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
this can be rewritten as
2x + x + 5x = 24
combine like terms
8x = 24
divide both sides by 8
x = 24/8
x = 3
now, multiply x by each part of the ratio.
his brother = 2 * 3 = 6
his sister = 1 * 3 = 3
himself = 5 * 3 = 15
