Given parameters:
Fraction given to charity = 
Fraction given to wife = 
Unknown:
Fraction given to son and daughter =?
Solution:
Let the total property = x
Fraction given to charity = 
Fraction given to wife = 
The remaining was given to son and daughter = F
So;
Total property = fraction given to charity + fraction given to wife + fraction given to son and daughter
x = 
F = x - (
)
F = 0
The son and daughter will not inherit anything
This is solved by setting up two equations and then using one to answer the other.
The first step (use what is given to set up the two separate equations)
We are looking for two numbers, let us call them X and Y.
We are told that X + Y = 59
We are also told that (9 more than) 9+ (4times the smaller number) 4Y is the bigger number X
Then we combine that into 9+4Y=X
so we now have two separate equations and we can use one to solve the other. Everywhere we have X in the first equation, we will fill in with the second equation
(9+4Y) +Y = 59 [then combine like terms]
9+5Y=59 [subtract 9 from both sides]
5Y=50 [divide both sides by 5 to isolate the Y]
Y=10 [now plug this into either equation to solve for X]
9+4(10)=X
9+40=X
<u><em>49=X and 10=Y</em></u>
First you have to convert the denominators to the Lowest Common Multiple (unless the denominators are equal, of course).
Example 1/4 + 1/2
The LCM of 2 and 4 = 4 so we can write 1/2 as 1*2/2*2 = 2/4.
Now we can add:-
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4.
Same thing goes for subtraction.
Example 2:-
5/6 - 1/7 :-
LCM of 6 and 7 = 6*7 = 42 so we have:-
5*7 / 6*7 - 1*6 / 7*6
= 35/42 - 6/42 = 29/42
First : -(-6) will turn into a positive 6
second: -8+6 which equals -2
