Chip and Arlene have 60 shares of stock between the two of them. If you double the number Arlene has and halve the number Chip has, then they would have the same number of shares. How many shares does Arlene have?

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
and yoo is wrong as well.

c+a = 60
2a = c/2
2a = (60-a)/2
2a = 30 - a/2
5/2 a = 30
a = 12
so arlene has 12 and chip has 48
check: 2*12 = 24 = 48/2
