I'm not sure, but I think this is the answer.

Answer:

Sara has 24-x-7

Tim has 24+x/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So for Tim, He had 24 and received x no of sweets from Sara, so

24+x

After that, he ate half of it, so

24+x/2

Now for Sara, She had 24 and gave Tim x no of sweets, so

24-x

After that, she ate 7 of it, so

24-x-7

Hope it helps
