Let's break down the given information to solve the problem.
We are given that Mara has six more than twice as many apples as Robert. So, Mara has (2x + 6) apples, where x represents the number of apples Robert has.
We are also given that Mara has half as many apples as Sheila. So, Sheila has 2 * (2x + 6) = (4x + 12) apples.
To find the total number of apples Mara, Robert, and Sheila have combined, we add up their respective numbers of apples:
Mara: (2x + 6) apples
Robert: x apples
Sheila: (4x + 12) apples
Total number of apples = (2x + 6) + x + (4x + 12)
= 2x + 6 + x + 4x + 12
= 7x + 18
Therefore, the answer is (E) 7x + 18, as it represents the sum of apples that Mara, Robert, and Sheila have combined.

Robert: x apples
Sheila: (4x + 12) apples
Total number of apples = (2x + 6) + x + (4x + 12)
= 2x + 6 + x + 4x + 12
= 7x + 18
Therefore, the answer is (E) 7x + 18, as it represents the sum of apples that Mara, Robert, and Sheila have combined.
