Ms. Nguyen needs to separate $385 into three parts to pay some depts. The second part must be five times as large as the first part. The third part must be $35 more than the first part. How much money must be in each part?

Ok so u divid 385 by 3 then ur answer is 128 so divided that again and its 42 so divid again by 3 is 14x5=70 so 70 is the second part and the first part is about 14 them the 3rd part is about 105

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
