Answer provided by our tutors

let


b = the number of pairs of shoes that Bell has


g = the number of pairs of shoes that Gen has


j = the number of pairs of shoes that Jill has


Bell has more than two time as many pairs of shoes as Gen and more than twice as many as Jill:


b > 2g


b > 2j


both Gen and Jill have at lease 5 each


g >= 5


j >=5


follows


b > 2*5


b > 10


Bell has at least 10 pairs of shoes.
