Answer: p800,000
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 to wife
1/3 to eldest son, and
<u>Rest(x)</u> to 5 youngest children
(1/2) + (1/3) + x = 1 [The sum of the shares will equal 1 estate]
(3/6) + (2/6) + x = 1
(5/6) + x = 1
x = (1/6); to be divided among the 5 youngest children
We find that each young child receives p60,000. That group of five received 5*(60,000) = p300,000, which represents (1/6) of the total estate (Estate).
We can write: (1/6)*(Estate) = p300,000
Estate = p1,800,000
The wife hauled in 1/2 of this, so she received p800,000.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
x=y+3
Subtract 3 from each side
x-3 = y
y = x-3
y=-4x-3
We have both equations in slope intercept form
y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
graph is below
They both have the same y intercept so they intersect at (0,-3)
Substitution
x=y+3
y=-4x-3
Substitute the second equation into the first equation
x=y+3
x = -4x-3 +3
x = -4x
Add 4x to each side
5x =0
x=0
y = -4x-3
y = 0-3
y = -3
(0,-3)
Additon
x=y+3
Subtract y from each side
x-y = 3
y=-4x-3
Add 4x to each side
4x+y =-3
Add the equations together to eliminate y
x-y = 3
4x+y =-3
-----------------
5x +0y =0
5x = 0
x=0
Now solve for y
y = -4x-3
y = 0-3
y = -3
(0,-3)
<span>1. know what the variables are and identify them 2. Group all the same types together that are on one side 3. add or subtract whole numbers so they are on one side 4. add or subtract variables 5. Multiply or Divide the variables to get them to one side </span>
