Part 1: Substitution method
Part2: Wayne has 57 coins
Part 3: Winston has 49 coins
Explanation
The first step is solve find the equations for the information given.
Let x be the number of coins that Wayne has and y be the number of coins Winstone has.
Winston has 8 fewer coins than Wayne has. y = x − 8
If you add 4 times the number of coins Wayne has and 3 times the number of coins Winston has, the sum is 375. 4x + 3y = 375
Part 1
y = x − 8
4x + 3y = 375
This equations can be solved simultaneously by use of substitution method.
Part 1 and part 2
y = x − 8 (i)
4x + 3y = 375 (ii)
Substitute the value of y with (x - 8) in equation (ii).
4x + 3(x - 8) = 375
4x + 3x - 24 = 375
7x = 375 + 24
7x = 399
Divide by 7 both sides of the equation
x = 399/7
= 57
And y = x - 8
y = 57- 8
y = 49
Wayne has 57 coins
Winstone has 49 coins
