First we define variables:
 x: Money Peter receives
 y: Money Paul receives
 z: Money Jane receives
 We write the system of equations:
 x / y = 13/12
 x / z = 13/7
 x = z + 78
 Solving the system we have:
 x = $ 169
 y = 156 $
 z = 91 $
 Answer:
 
Paul gets 156 $

Elimination using addition and subtraction. <br> -4x+4y=-20<br> -2x+4y=-2
goldfiish [28.3K]

I would subtract the 2nd from the first one

so -4x - -2x = -2x

4y - 4y = 0

-20 - -2 = -18


-2x = -18

now I would divide that by -2 to get the value for x

so no we have x = 9


now you just have to substitute that into one of the equations and simplify to get y


-2 X 9 + 4y = -2

-18 + 4y = -2

4y =16

y = 4
