Answer:

$6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If y is the amount of money a child receives, and x is the total amount being divided among the children, then

Jane's share:  y = \frac{4}{4+5+7} * x = \frac{4}{16}x

Peter's share:  y = \frac{5}{4+5+7} * x = \frac{5}{16}x

Martha's share:  y = \frac{7}{4+5+7} * x = \frac{7}{16}x

We know Jane got $2000, so we can use that to solve for x:

\frac{4}{16} x = 2000

x = \frac{16}{4} * 2000 = 8000

Plug this x value in to find how much Peter and Martha received:

\frac{5}{16} * 8000 + \frac{7}{16} * 8000 = $6000

How to solve this question?
larisa86 [58]

T = (2, 3)

to find T, the point of intersection of the 2 lines, solve the 2 equations simultaneously.

x + y = 5 → (1)

2y - 5x = - 4 → (2)

from (1) y = 5 - x

substitute y = 5 - x into equation (2)

2(5 - x) - 5x = - 4

10 - 2x - 5x = - 4

10 - 7x = - 4

subtract 10 from both sides

- 7x = - 4 - 10 = - 14

divide both sides by - 7

x = \frac{(- 14)}{(- 7)} = 2

substitute x = 2 into equation (1)

2 + y = 5 ⇒ y = 5 - 2 = 3

thus T = (2, 3)
