Issac Potts · Answer 1

A = 3R

R = A/3

24 = A + R

24 = 3R + R

24 = 4R

6 = R

A = 18

Roman = 6

Alex = 18

6+18 = 24

Ahmad Harrington · Answer 2

Alex has 18 pets, and Roman has 6. I found this out by doing a equation that adds up to 24 with two numbers that multiply (6x3) up to one of the other numbers so that's how I got 6 and 18.

(or something like that ...)
