M/W=5/8
(M-30)/(W-10)=1/2
putting from the first equation M=5W/8
into the second equation
(5W/8-30)2=W-20
solve for W, then go back in the first equation and solve for M
(M-30)/(W-10)=1/2
putting from the first equation M=5W/8
into the second equation
(5W/8-30)2=W-20
solve for W, then go back in the first equation and solve for M
