Let w represent the amount the wife receives.
.. w +2*(2/3*w) = 945,000
.. 7/3w = 945,000
.. w = (3/7)*945,000 = 405,000
The wife will receive $405,000.
Answer:
6/142 > 4/136
Step-by-step explanation:
6/142 = 0.04225352113
4/136 = 0.02941176471
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
