    In the equation, the variable x represents:

    Courtney's age.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If we assume that the age of Courtney is: x

    Then as:

    Courtney is twice as old as Andre.

    This means that Andre will be half the age of Courtney.

    This means that the age of Andre is: x/2

    Also, Courtney is three years older than Natalie.

    This means that Natalie is 3 years younger to Courtney.

    This means that the age of Natalie is: x-3.

    Also, Courtney is half Shari's age.

    This means that Shari is twice the age of Courtney.

    i. e. Age of Shari = 2x

    Now, it is given that:

    The difference between Shari's age and Natalie's age is the same as the sum of Courtney's age and Adre's age.

    i. e. we have:

    2x - (x-3) = x+x/2
