Problema Solution

If you take 1/2 as many photos on Friday as you do on Saturday and take twice as many on Sunday as you do on Saturday and have 42 photos total, how many did you take each day? Need to know the equation to solve.

x = the number of photos taken on Saturday


(1/2)x = the number of photos taken on Friday


2x = the number of photos taken on Sunday


x + (1/2)x + 2x = 42
