Q1:
Share of the daughter (x):
2x + x + x + $1,000 = $9,000
4x = $8,000
x = $2,000
Share of the wife:
= 2($2,000)
= $4,000
Share of the son:
= $2,000 + $1,000
= $3,000
Answer: wife, $4,000; son, $3,000; daughter, $2,000
Q2:
= 1/2x + $1,000
Answer: 1/2x + $1,000: expression for share of the son
Proof (the wife shares $4,000):
Share of wife (x):
x + 1/2x + 1/2x + $1,000 = $9,000
2x = $8,000
x = $4,000

Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.
b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c
The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
Answer:
x = 63
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we can deduce the following points;
- 12 less than x which simply means 12 subtracted from x.
- the value of the above expression is equal to 51.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
x - 12 = 51
Rearranging the equation (collecting like terms), we have;
x = 51 + 12
x = 63
