Keeping in mind that 29/6 is greater than 4, is actually 4 and 5/6, so the amount we'll "add" will be a negative one.

$\bf \cfrac{29}{6}+x=4\implies x=4-\cfrac{29}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{4}{1}-\cfrac{29}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{(6)4-(1)29}{6}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{24-29}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{-5}{6}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{29}{6}+\left( -\cfrac{5}{6} \right)=4$

Divide $4800 between Kofi and Kweku so that Kofi gets three times what Kweku gets

shusha [124]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the amount Kweku gets then Kofi gets 3x , so

x + 3x = 4800

4x = 4800 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 1200

that is

Kweku gets $1200

Kofi gets 3 × $1200 = $3600
