divide 105in to two parts in which the first half part exceeds the one fifth of the second by 35"
-----------------------
x + y = 105"
y-(1/5)x = 35
--------------------
Substitute for "y" and solve for "x":
x + (1/5)x +35 = 105
(6/5)x = 70
x = (5/6)70
---
x = 350/6
x = 58 1/3"
---------------
y = 105 - 58 1/3 = 46 2/3 inches
