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
