Let Taylor's earnings be t, Andile's earnings be a and that of Favour be f.
Given that t+a+f=380. Also given that Taylor earned 40 less than Andile. That translates to t=a-40. Favour earned twice as much as Taylor.
That is, f=2t. Substitute t=a-40 into f=2t to get f=2(a-40)=2a-80.
Substitute t=a-40 and c=2a-80 into t+a+f=380 to get
a-40+a+2a-80=380.
Combining like terms, we get 4a-120=380. Adding 120 to both sides of the equation, we get, 4a=500 and dividing by 4 on both sides, we get a=125.
Since we want to know what Taylor earned, substitute a=125 back into t=a-40=125-40=85
Therefore, Taylor earned $85!

Answer:
y=17
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+2y=70
x+y=26
2x+2y=52
2x=18
x=9
y=26-9
y=17
The roots of 54 are: 1 and 54, 2 and 27, 3 and 18, 6 and 9, then it restarts all over again.
The two numbers have to multiply up to 54, and add up to 3. 9 and 6 have a difference of 3, and the multiplied sum is negative, so this is your pair.
9 and -6 fit this criteria, since they add up to 3 and multiply to 64.
