Answer:

Brother's money  = $6

Money I have  = $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

I have 3 times as much money as my brother:

Money I have = 3x  

Where x is the money that my brother has:

Brother's money = x

Our total is $24

So, 3x+x =24

Solving for x

3x+x=24

4x =24

x =24/4

x = 6

Replacing with the value of x.

Brother’s money = x = $6

Money i have = 3x =3(6) = $18
