A = Andrew's amt
\n" ); document.write( "L = Lionel's amt
\n" ); document.write( "C = Caroline's amt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Andrew Lionel and caroline shared a sum of money.
\n" ); document.write( "A+B+C is the sum money
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " Andrew's share was 0.25 of the total amount received by Lionel and Caroline.
\n" ); document.write( "A = .25(L+C)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "4A = L + C
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "C = 4A - L
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Lionel's share was 1/3 of the sum of money.
\n" ); document.write( "L = \"1%2F3\"(A+L+C)
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "3L = (A+L+C)
\n" ); document.write( "3L = A + L + C
\n" ); document.write( "subtract L from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2L = A + C
\n" ); document.write( "Replace C = (4A-L)
\n" ); document.write( "2L = A + 4A - L
\n" ); document.write( "2L = A + 4A - L
\n" ); document.write( "2L + L = 5A
\n" ); document.write( "3L = 5A
\n" ); document.write( "If andrew received 60 dollars less than Lionel,
\n" ); document.write( "A = L - 60
\n" ); document.write( "Replace A with (L-60) in the equation 3L = 5A
\n" ); document.write( "3L = 5(L-60)
\n" ); document.write( "3L = 5L - 300
\n" ); document.write( "3L - 5L = -300
\n" ); document.write( "-2L = -300
\n" ); document.write( "L = -300/-2
\n" ); document.write( "L = $150 is received by Lionel\r
