Question

Tunde and Martha are married and share their income. Tunde earns $1,500 per year less than Martha. If their annual income is $47,500, how much does each earn?

Answer 1

p=2m

p+m=51

take the 2m and plug that in for p -> 2m+m=51

m=51/3

m=17 then plu the value of m into Paula's points

p=2(17)

p=34
