A girl has as many brothers as sisters, but each brother has only half as many brothers as sisters. How many brothers and sistes are there in the family?
This can actually be solved using mathematical equations. It's mosre or less like word problem!
Let the number of girls be x Let the number of boys be y
A girl has as many brothers as sisters
So, x - 1 = y
each brother has only half as many brothers as sisters
So, y - 1 = x ÷ 2 we can rewrite this as 2(y - 1) = x

So, x - 1 = y
each brother has only half as many brothers as sisters
So, y - 1 = x ÷ 2 we can rewrite this as 2(y - 1) = x
Putting x = 2(y - 1) into x - 1 = y
2y - 2 - 1 = y
Collecting like terms
2y - y = 2 + 1
y = 3
Putting y = 3 into x - 1 = y
x - 1 = 3
x = 3 + 1 = 4
So, x = 4; y = 3
Answer: 4 sisters, 3 brothers

That strategy is the acquisition of a value-priced company by a growth company. Using the growth company's higher-priced stock for the acquisition can produce outsized revenue and earnings growth. Even better is the use of cash, particularly in a growth period when financial aggressiveness is accepted and even positively viewed.he key public rationale behind this strategy is synergy - the 1+1=3 view. In many cases, synergy does occur and is valuable. However, in other cases, particularly as the strategy gains popularity, it doesn't. Joining two different organizations, workforces and cultures is a challenge. Simply putting two separate organizations together necessarily creates disruptions and conflicts that can undermine both operations.
