total of ages now is 67 + 4 + 4 = 75
S=shelly
M= Michelle
Michelle is 3 yrs younger than Shelly so use S-3
S +M = 75
replace M with S-3 to get:
S +S-3=75
2S=78
s=39
So shelly is 39
Michelle is 3 years younger = 39-3 = 36
7/3x+1/3x=3x+6/3+5/3x
8/3x-5/3x=3x+6/3
3/3x=3x+6/3
x=3x+6/3
x-3x=6/3
-2x=2
-x=2/2
-x=1
x=-1
Answer:
