??? help?

Answer 1

2m>k +12> g=124
???

Answer 2

M = 2 K
K = G + 12
M + K + G = 124

Solve the above three equations

Answer 3

let max's amount of money be 'x',katy's amount of money be 'y' and grey's amount of money be 'z'

'Max has twice as much money as Katy'
x=2y----------1
'Katy has $12 more than Greg'
y=z+12----------2
'All three together have $124'
x+y+z=124--------3

now sove

Answer 4

From 2, K - G = 12

Adding above and 3rd equation, we get
M + 2K = 136

and from 1, M - 2K = 0

add this and the above,

2M = 136
M = 136/2 = 68

Therefore K = M / 2 = 68 / 2 = 34

and G= K-12 = 34 -12 = 22

Therefore, M=68, K=34 and G =22
