The oldest son will get $370, the middle will get $220 and the youngest will get $185.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total amount to be split = $775

Let,

Oldest son's share = x

Middle son's share = y

Youngest son's share = z

According to given statement;

x+y+z=775     Eqn 1

the oldest gets twice as much as the youngest

x = 2z             Eqn 2

the middle son gets $35 more than the youngest

y = z+35         Eqn 3

Putting value of x and y from Eqn 2 and 3 in Eqn 1

2z+(z+35)+z=775\\2z+z+35+z=775\\4z=775-35\\4z=740\\

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4z}{4}=\frac{740}{4}\\z=185

Putting z=185 in Eqn 2

x=2(185)\\x=370

Putting z=185 in Eqn 3

y=185+35\\y=220

The oldest son will get $370, the middle will get $220 and the youngest will get $185.

Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form.The line containing the median of the trapezoid whose vertices are R(-1
maxonik [38]
RS => y - 5 = (8 - 5)/(1 - (-1)) (x - (-1))
y - 5 = 3/2 (x + 1) => slope = 3/2
ST => y - 8 = (-2 - 8)/(7 - 1) (x - 1)
y - 8 = -10/6 (x - 1) = -5/3 (x - 1) => slope = -5/3
TU => y - (-2) = (0 - (-2))/(2 - 7) (x - 7)
y + 2 = 2/5(x - 7) => slope = 2/5
UR => y = 5/(-1 - 2) (x - 2)
y = -5/3 (x - 2) => slope = -5/3

The median is the line joining the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
Midpoint of RS = ((-1 + 1)/2, (5 + 8)/2) = (0, 13/2)
Midpoint of TU = ((7 + 2)/2, -2/2) = (9/2, -1)

Equation of the line joining (0, 13/2) and (9/2, -1) is given by y - 13/2 = (-1 - 13/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = (-15/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = -15/9x
18y - 117 = -30x
30x + 18y = 117

2x+3y= 14<br>3х - 4 y = 4<br><br>​
goldenfox [79]

The solution to given system of equations are (x, y) = (4, 2)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>

2x + 3y = 14 ---------- eqn 1

3x - 4y = 4 --------- eqn 2

We have to solve the given system of equations

We can solve the above system of equations by elimination method

<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 3</u></em>

3(2x + 3y = 14)

6x + 9y = 42 --------- eqn 3

<em><u>Multiply eqn 2 by 2</u></em>

2(3x - 4y = 4)

6x - 8y = 8 ----------- eqn 4

<em><u>Subtract eqn 4 from eqn 3</u></em>

6x + 9y = 42

6x - 8y = 8

( - ) --------------

9y + 8y = 42 - 8

17y = 34

<h3>y = 2</h3>

<em><u>Substitute y = 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

2x + 3(2) = 14

2x + 6 = 14

2x = 14 - 6

2x = 8

<h3>x = 4</h3>

Thus the solution to given system of equations are (x, y) = (4, 2)
