Answer:
<h2><em><u>n</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>7</u></em></h2>Step-by-step explanation:
4(n-1)+2 = -23 +7n
=> 4n - 4 + 2 = - 23 + 7n
=> 23 - 4 + 2 = 7n - 4n
=> 21 = 3n
=> <em><u>n</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>7</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>Ans</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>
The share of Natasha is £ 42
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
£70 is divided between Natasha, Richard & Stephen
Total amount = 70
Let the share of natasha be "x"
Let the share of richard be "y"
Let the share of stephen be "z"
Natasha gets twice as much as Richard
x = 2y ------ eqn 1
Richard gets three times as much as Stephen
y = 3z
----- eqn 2
Total amount = 70
share of natasha + share of richard + share of stephen = 70
x + y + z = 70
Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute y = 21 in eqn 1
x = 2y = 2(21) = 42
x = 42
Thus natasha gets £ 42
