If I were you, I would select the first equation to put in y=mx+b form so that you can substitute it in to the second one. What you do is you subtract the x from the left side and bring it over to the right and then you divide everything by 5. The y=mx+b equation is y=-1/5x-7. Then, you substitute this equation into the bottom one so you are now working only with x's. You should distribute and combine like terms. When you distribute and clean it up, at the end you should get 18/5x-14=8. You then add 14 to get 22 on the right side and then multiply that by the reciprocal of the fraction. When you multiply 22 by 5/18, you should get a reduced fraction of 55/9. You then substitute this value into either equation to get the y-value. You should get a y-value of -260/45. Your answer as an ordered pair should be (55/9,-260/45).
Answer:
Since we know that each of the three triplets are the same age we can put next to n, 3.
And given that another child is 14 years old we can put that next to the "+" sign.
In total, it would equal 32, so put the 32 after the equal sign.
It should look like this:
3n + 14 = 32
But now they want us to solve for the triplet's ages, so we just solve for n;
3n + 14 = 32
-14 -14
3n = 18
/3 /3
n = 6, the triplet's ages are 6 years old each.
I do believe it is the second one
