Eminem,Lil Wayne and Chris brown are to share $142 such that Lil Wayne gets $11 less than Eminem and $7 more than Chris brown.
How much is Eminem share.
E = W + 11
C = W - 7
W + E + C = 142
Substitute:
W + (W+11) + (W-7) = 142
Solve for W then E.
Eminem gets $X.
Lil Wayne gets $(x-11).
Chris gets (x-11-7) = $(x-18).
x + (x-11) + (x-18) = 142.
3x - 29 = 142.
X =
To find out how much Eminem's share is, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information.
Let's assume Eminem's share is represented by "x" dollars.
According to the given information, Lil Wayne's share is $11 less than Eminem's share. Therefore, Lil Wayne's share can be represented as "x - 11" dollars.
Similarly, Chris Brown's share is $7 more than Lil Wayne's share. So, Chris Brown's share can be represented as "(x - 11) + 7" dollars.
Now, we can set up an equation to solve for Eminem's share:
x + (x - 11) + (x - 11 + 7) = 142
Simplifying the equation:
3x - 15 = 142
Adding 15 to both sides of the equation:
3x = 157
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 52.33
Therefore, Eminem's share is approximately $52.33.
