Answer:
Eldest: $298500
Middle: $165250
Youngest: $149250
Explanation:
We can show the siblings like this:
e=2y (eldest)
m=16000+y (middle)
To find the value of y, or the youngest sibling, we use an equation.
2y+16000+y+y=613000
Simplify:
4y+16000=613000
Subtract 16000 on both sides:
4y=597000
Divide both sides by 4:
y=149250
The youngest received $149250.
Knowing this, we can plug in the numbers into the original formulas:
e=2(149250)=298500 ...or $298500
m=16000+149250=165250 ...or $165250
y=149250 ...or $149250
Add all those numbers up, and you reach $613000.
The trick is to write appropriate equations and then solve the system of equations you've created.
"sum of two numbers is -5:" x + y = -5
"difference is -1:" x-y = -1
Add these two equations together. This will cause y to drop out, and you will be left with an equation in x alone:
2x = - 6, so x = -3. Subst. -3 for x in either equation, above, and find the corresponding y value.
Then write your solution as (-3, y ) (write in your value for y).
10 1/3.
