    Given:

    10 cousins

    1 Jackson cousin

    twice as many Lopez cousin as Chen cousin.

    The unknown are the number of Lopez cousin and Chen cousin.

    Let x represent the number of Chen cousin. Since Lopez cousin is twice the number of Chen cousin, the Lopez cousin is represented by 2x.

    1 + 2x + x = 10

    3x = 10 - 1

    3x = 9

    x = 9/3

    x = 3 → Number of Chen cousins

    2x → 2 (3) = 6 → Number of Lopez cousins

    There is 1 Jackson cousin, 6 Lopez cousins, and 3 Chen cousins. For a total of 10 cousins.
