Answer:
Tom's share = €800
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Amount shared by Al, Tom and Joe = €3000
Ratio of Al's share to Tom's share = 5 : 4
Joe's share = 1.5(Tom's share) = 1.5(4) = 6
Therefore,
Ratio of Al, Tom and Joe = 5 : 4 : 6
Let,
x be the number of times of amount each get.
5x + 4x + 6x = 3000
15x = 3000
Dividing both sides by 15

Tom's share = 4x = 4(200) = €800
Hence,
Tom's share = €800
4x+12y=48
12y=48-4x
Y=4-3x
Steps
1.subtract 4x to the other side
2.divide 12 to all numbers
Answer is : y=4-3x
- 5 + -3 = -8

when a negative number adds a negative number, it will be negative
when a negative number adds a positive number, whichever number (either positive or negative) take the sign of the bigger one
For example:
-4 + 3 = -1
-5 + 10 = 5
