Set up appropriate systems of two linear equations and solve the systems algebraically. All data are accurate to at least two significant digits.

The weight W_f supported by the front wheels of a certain car and the weight W_r supported by the rear wheels together equal the weight of the car, 17,700 N. See Fig. 5.29. Also, the ratio of W_r to W_f is 0.847. What are the weights supported by each set of wheels?
