Answer:
shs92800
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the money owned by the man be x.
Hence the man gave ⅝of his money to his son;
Meaning the son gets:
⅝ × x = ⅝x
¾ of the remaining to his daughter,
Meaning his daughter gets :
¾ ×(x-⅝x) = ¾×3/8 x = 9/32X
the remaining to his wife,
Meaning his wife gets:
x-(5/8x + 9/32x) = x - 29/32x = 3/32 x
But his wife's amount is Shs8700
Meaning 3/32x = Shs8700
x= Shs8700 × 32/3 = shs92800
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum up, subtract and simplify
Answer:
x= 2,
,y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] y = 5x - 5
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]
[2] -4x + 2•(5x-5) = 2
[2] 6x = 12
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] 6x = 12
[2] x = 2
// By now we know this much :
x = 2
y = 5x-5
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = 5(2)-5 = 5
Solution :
{x,y} = {2,5}
