No. of candies = 24
No. of candies the younger son gets = x ( since it is not known let it be "x" )
No. of candies oldest son gets = 3 times x
= 3x
Hence , the number of candies the oldest son gets is 3x
!!! THE BELOW IS JUST AN EXAMPLE INCASE THE NUMBER OF CANDIES THE YOUNGER SON GOT IS GIVEN !!!
If the number of candies the younger son gets is given for example , X = 10 , then
No. of candies the younger son gets = 10
No. of candies oldest son gets = 3 times the no. of candies the younger son
gets
= 3 x 10
= 30
