Tunde and Martha are married and share their income. Tunde earns $1,500 per year less than Martha. If their annual income is $47,500, how much does each earn?

p=2m

p+m=51

take the 2m and plug that in for p -> 2m+m=51

3m=51

m=51/3

m=17 then plu the value of m into Paula's points

p=2(17)

p=34

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

(23*2)-12=x     x=34
