An estate of $656,000is left to three siblings. the eldest receives 6 times as much as the youngest. the middle sibling receives $15,000 more than the youngest. how much did each receive?

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the amount the eldest receives, y is the amount the middle receives, and z is the amount the youngest receives, then:

x + y + z = 656000

x = 6z

y = z + 15000

Substituting the last two equations into the first:

(6z) + (z + 15000) + z = 656000

8z + 15000 = 656000

8z = 641000

z = 80125

Solving for the remaining variables:

x = 6z = 480750

y = z + 15000 = 95125

The eldest receives $480,750, the middle receives $95,125 and the youngest receives $80,125.
