Summation problems, math of summation —

Solution:

Let the first part of the sum is ‘x’ and second part is ‘y’

\Rightarrow x+y=24 ---- (1))

Now by given information;

\Rightarrow 7x+5y=146 ---- (2)

To find value of first part i-e ‘x’ we eliminate ‘y’  by solving these two equations simulataneously;

Multiply eq 1 by 5 on both sides;

\Rightarrow 5x+5y=120 ---- (3)

Now subtracting eq 3 from eq 2;

2x=26

\Rightarrow x=13

so, the first part of the sum is 13
