i'm not really good at setting up word problems...i don't need you to solve it just set up the equations in order to do so....
.....
According to Mrs. Randolph's will, each of her great-grandchildren living in Georgia received $700 more than each of her great grandchildren living in Florida. In all, $206,100 was divided between 36 great grand children. The Georgian great grandchildren decide that the will wasn't really fair, so they each contribute $175 to be divided among the Floridian great grandchildren. If all great grand children now have an equal share, how many great grandchildren live in Georgia?
i think you have to use 'system' equations to set this up...you don't have to solve it...although it'd be appreciated...but the main thing for me is pulling out the numbers (equations) from the word problem....please help me...
