The oldest son will get $370, the middle will get $220 and the youngest will get $185.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total amount to be split = $775
Let,
Oldest son's share = x
Middle son's share = y
Youngest son's share = z
According to given statement;
x+y+z=775 Eqn 1
the oldest gets twice as much as the youngest
x = 2z Eqn 2
the middle son gets $35 more than the youngest
y = z+35 Eqn 3
Putting value of x and y from Eqn 2 and 3 in Eqn 1
Dividing both sides by 4
Putting z=185 in Eqn 2
Putting z=185 in Eqn 3
The oldest son will get $370, the middle will get $220 and the youngest will get $185.

3m+6=24
3m=18
m=6
So mike traveled 6 miles by taxi.
We know that the taxi driver chargers $3 per mile, so we say M is the mile variable, and for every M there is $3. So 3m+6 (initial fee) is the first part of the formula.
We set 3m+6=24 (24 being the total amount the taxi driver is charging)
Answer is x-1/3x^2
