7 sisters = 7 siblings they each have 2 brothers 2 brothers it doesn't mean there are 14 brothers nor 14 siblings that number doesn't even make sense what it is 9 7 sisters 2 brothers

7 sisters
each one of them has 2
so 1 sister has 2 siblings
that means 3 siblings
7 x 3 = 21
so 21 children |

Oh damn now I see. You said they each have to brothers, not that there are two brothers for each of them.
It's 9.
Nice riddle.

yeah the answer is 9
they each have the same 2
if they all had different 2, they wouldn't be full siblings |

Your math is correct, but if you read it carefully you realize that they each of two brothers. They're all sisters so they all have the same brothers. They each have two brothers, not "there are two brothers for each of them".
