Keiko has a total of $5200
x is the amount of money in larger account
y is the amount of money in smaller account
x - y = $900
and x + y = $5200
<u>This creates two simultaneous equations:</u>
x - y = $900 ... (i)
x + y = $5200 ... (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii) :
2x = $6100 , x = $3050
y = x - $900 = $3050 - $900 = $2150
The amount of money in larger account (x) = $3050
The amount of money in smaller account (y) = $2150
If the gray suitcase weighs 11 lb more than the pink suitcase, the pink suitcase weighs 5 lb than the blue suitcase, and the total of 3 suitcases is 127 lb, then the blue suitcase weighs 35.3 lb
Let the gray suitcase be represented by g
Let the pink suitcase be represented by p
Let the blue suitcase be represented by b
The gray suitcase weighs 11 lb more than the pink suitcase
g = p + 11........(1)
The pink suitcase weighs 5 lb than the blue suitcase.
p = b + 5
b = p - 5...........(2)
Total of 3 suitcases = 127 lb
p + b + g = 127............(3)
Substitute equations (1) and (2) into equation (3)
p + p - 5 + p + 11 = 127
3p + 6 = 127
3p = 127 - 6
3p = 121
p = 121/3
p = 40.3 lb
Substitute p = 40.3 into equation (2)
b = p - 5
b = 40.3 - 5
b = 35.3
The blue suitcase weigh 35.3 lb
