Question 399756: Hi! Can you please help me solve the following word problem: substitution?
A will states that Jerry is to inherit 3 times as much money as Mary. The total amount they will receive is $11,000. Find the amounts of money Jerry and Mary will inherit?
So, I sorta started the problem out as that...
J-jerry
M-mary
And the equation would be J= 3M
but im not sure if its right and I also need to solve it!
