Answer:
First son receives $15000
Second son receives $8000
Third son receives $7000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let first son receive $x and deposit it at 7%
Second son receive $y and deposit in 8%
Third son receive $z and deposit in 6%
Now, let's set up equation using the given information.
The second son share is 1000 more than the third son.
So, we can set up equation as
y= 1000+z
First son share is equal the second son and the third son put together.
So, x=y+z
And we can set up equation for total 30000 as
x+y+z=30000
Plug in y as 1000+z and x as y+z
We get third equation as
y+z+1000+z+z=30000
Plug in again y as 1000+z
It gives,
1000+z+z+1000+z+z=30000
Combine like terms,
2000+4z=30000
Subtract both sides 2000
4z=28000
Divide both sides by 4
z=7000
Now, plug in z as 7000 into y=1000+z to get y =8000
Now, x =y+z plug in the y and z values
x= 8000+7000=15000
Let's check with interest,
15000(7%)+8000(8%)+7000(6%)=2110
1050+640+420= 2110
2110=2110.
Yes! The calculations are correct!
