Answer 1

Hey user !!

Here's the answer you are looking for

Here's the answer you are looking forLet mala's share be x and Jaya's share be y

$\rightsquigarrow$$So, x + y = 450$

$\rightsquigarrow$$x = (450 - y)$

and

$\rightsquigarrow$$3x - 2y = 230$

$\rightsquigarrow$$|3 (450-y) - 2y = 230$

$\rightsquigarrow$$1350 - 3y - 2y = 230$

$\rightsquigarrow$$5y = 1350 - 230 = 1120$

$\rightsquigarrow$$y=1120/5 224$

$\rightsquigarrow$$y = 224$

$\rightsquigarrow$$So, x = 450 - 224 = 226$

$\rightsquigarrow$$x = 226$
