    Make an equation.

    Also, convert 3 weeks into days ⇒ 3 · 7 = 21 days.

    x + 2x + 4x = 21

    x is Jared.

    2x is Max (because half of 4 is 2).

    4x is Wesley.

    Now solve the equation.

    7x = 21

    x = 3

    Jared = x

    Max = 2x

    Wesley = 4x

    Jared = 3 days

    Max = 2 (3) = 6 days

    Wesley = 4 (3) = 12 days
