You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x be the amount the youngest receives.
\n" ); document.write( "Then the others will get:
\n" ); document.write( "x+16000
\n" ); document.write( "x+16000
\n" ); document.write( "2x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are told the sum of all is 1,000,000
\n" ); document.write( "So
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+%28x%2B16000%29+%2B+%28x%2B16000%29+%2B+2x+=+1000000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x+%2B+32000+=+1000000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x+=+968000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+242000\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use that to plug back in and get the sums the other three will get
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
