Answer:

20 stamps from Europe

18 stamps from Asia

9 stamps from Afrca

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x=number of Europe stamps

y=number of Africa stamps

This implies that

2y=Number of Asia stamps

She has 47 stamps in all implies that

x+y+2y=47

20+3y=47

3y=47-20

3y=27

[tex] \frac{3y}{3}= \frac{27}{3} [/tex]

y=9
