.

P = President.

v = Vice-Presidents.


    P + V = 572800

    P - V = 227200

-------------------------Add the equations and look what will happen.


Really, do as I instructed you.

When you complete this solution on your own, based on my instruction,
you will "tackle" hundreds of similar problems without any efforts.
