PLEASE HELP!! DUE REALLY SOON (LINK)

Answer 1

Defined variables:

Y - amount the youngest son gets

M - amount the middle son gets

O - amount the oldest son gets

Y got $115

M got $150

O got $230

Step by Step explaination:

If Y is the youngest, then the middle son, M = Y + $35 since the middle child gets $35 more than the youngest gets. The oldest son, O = 2Y since it’s twice the amount the youngest gets.

If you add each of those up, the equation you get is 2Y + (Y+$35) + Y = $495. Now you can solve for Y, the youngest son.

2Y + (Y+$35) + Y = $495

4Y + $35 = $495

4Y = $460

Y = $115

If Y gets $115 and M gets $35 more, M gets $150.

If Y gets $115 and O gets twice that amount, O gets $230.

To double check my work add 230 + 115 + 150. This equals $495. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

youngest=115

middle=150

elder=230

Explanation:

let the youngest be x

the middle will be x+35

the oldest will be 2x

x+x+35+2x=495

4x+35=495

4x=495-35

4x=460

x=115

since the youngest is x,the money he will receive is $115.

the middle will be x+35 which is equal to 115+35=$150.

lastly the oldest will be 2x which is equal to 2×115=$230.
