Make an attempt to translate the English into Math.
I will do #2 for you, then you show me how you did the other two, and I will check it for you
#2
"There were 18 more buttons in Bag B than in Bag A"
----> B = A+18
"There were 3 times as many buttons in Bag C as in Bag B"
----> C = 3B = 3(A+18) = 3A + 54
" There were 4342 buttons altogether in three bags A B and C"
----> A+B+C = 4342
A + A+18 + 3A+54 = 4342
5A + 72 = 4342
5A = 4270
A = 854
then B = A+18 = 854+18 = 872
and C = 2616
check: is 854+872+2616 = 4342 ? YES
is 872 greater than 854 by 18 ? YES
is 2616 three times as large as 854 ? YES
My answer is correct!

thank you so much for helping me solving my math problem
Did you get the other two ?
Mr.Lim gave $3600 to his wife and two children altogether.His wife received $500more than his son. His Son received twice as much as his daughter. how much did Mr.Lim's wife receive?
Solution:
Wife + Son + Daughter = $3600
Wife - $500 = Son receive
Daughter = 2x the Son's receive
3÷ $3600 = $1200
Wife = $1200
Son = ($1200 -$500) = $700
Son receive 2x as his daughter
Son = $700 × 2 = $1400
Daughter ($1200-$700) = $500
Daughter $500
Wife received $1700
Son received $1400
Daughter received $500
Total $3600
Solution:
Wife + Son + Daughter = $3600
Wife - $500 = Son receive
Daughter = 2x the Son's receive
3÷ $3600 = $1200
Wife = $1200
Son = ($1200 -$500) = $700
Son receive 2x as his daughter
Son = $700 × 2 = $1400
Daughter ($1200-$700) = $500
Daughter $500
Wife received $1700
Son received $1400
Daughter received $500
Total $3600
