Answer:

Explanation:

Sure, let's write each sentence as an equation:

1. Let the number be "x".

Equation: x - 4 = 24

2. Let the number be "y".

Equation: y + 12 = 26

3. Let the number be "a".

Equation: a - 5 = 25

4. Let the number be "b".

Equation: 3b = 39

5. Let the certain amount Garcia gets be "c".

Equation: 11 + c - 2 = Final amount (The final amount is not given in the sentence, so we can't simplify this further without additional information.)

Please check your answers against these equations. If they match, then your answers are correct!
