<PRE><B>Question 1190919</B>
A cabinet is composed of two jointed parts. The left is 4/5 the volume of the right. The total volume of the cabinet is 36 cubic feet. What is the volume of each part of the cabinet? 
========================
L = (4/5)R
L + R = 36
---
(4R/5) + R = 36
9R/5 = 36
9R = 180
R = 20
L = 16
==========================
