Let
Send Quick delivered = x
Ralph Express delivered = x+2
Speedy Delivery delivered = 4(x+2)
======================================
Given
Send Quick delivered + Ralph Express delivered + Speedy Delivery delivered = 22
x+(x+2)+4(x+2)=22
x+x+2+4x+8=22
6x+10=22
6x=22-10
6x=12
6x/6=12/6
x=2
=================================================
Send Quick delivered = x = 2
Ralph Express delivered = x+2 = 2+2 = 4
Speedy Delivery delivered = 4(x+2)=4(2+2)=4(4)=16
=================================================
