Suppose x and y are the amounts received in dollars by the elder and the younger son, respectively. Then the amount the father had is x + y.
From Statement (1), we have “The elder son received 3/5 of the amount.” Expressing this as an equation yields x = (3/5)(x + y), or x = 3x/5 + 3y/5, or 2x/5 = 3y/5, or x = 3y/2.
From Statement (2), we have that the younger son received $30,000. Expressing this as an equation yields y = 30,000.
Hence, the question can now be modified as:
What is the value
