Set up a system of simultaneous equations to solve the following problem:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenny                j

Lisa                (3/4)j+2751

TOTAL               51107


OR,


If you want to initially avoid fractions or decimals, then try like
Jenny                4X

Lisa                3X+2751

TOTAL               51107

and equation to use becomes 4X%2B%283X%2B2751%29=51107.
