You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x equal the amount that ali gets.
\n" ); document.write( "then 2x equals the amount that ayesha gets.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x = 24.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms to get 3x = 24.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get x = 24 / 3 = 8.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ali gets 8.
\n" ); document.write( "ayesha gets 16.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ayesha gets twice as much as ali.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16 + 8 = 24.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your solution is that ali gets rs. 8.\r
