There are tree triplets. Ed and Ned have $135 total combined, Ed and Ted have $153 total combined, and Ned and Ted have $122 combined. How much do all three have together? And how much do each individual have?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using elimination, write the three equation and add as follows
\n" ); document.write( "e + n + 0 = 135
\n" ); document.write( "e + 0 + t = 153
\n" ); document.write( "0 + n + t = 122
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "2e + 2n + 2t = 410
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify, divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "e + n + t = 205
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the 1st equation from the above
\n" ); document.write( "e + n + t = 205
\n" ); document.write( "e + n + 0 = 135
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------Subtaction eliminates e and n, find t
\n" ); document.write( "0 + 0 + t = 70
\n" ); document.write( "t = $70 is Teds amt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using the 3rd equation, replace t with 70
\n" ); document.write( "n + 70 = 122
\n" ); document.write( "n = 122 - 70
\n" ); document.write( " n = $52 is Ned's amt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Used 2nd equation, replace t with 70 again
\n" ); document.write( "e + 70 = 153
\n" ); document.write( "e = 153 - 70
\n" ); document.write( "e = $83 is Ed's amt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can confirm this by adding these value together and see if they agree with the given sums \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
