Question 129796: Separate 116 into two parts, one of which shall be 3 times the other

Let x=one part
Then 3x =the other part
Now we know that:
x+3x=116
4x=116 divide both sides by 4
x=29----------------------one part
3x=3*29=87 the other part
CK
3*29=87
87=87
also
87+29=116
116=116

Hope this helps---ptaylor
