He ANWSER I got would be c idk if this is right or not I honk it might be
First, construct two equations.
Then, equal the two equations to each other like this -
x will be the years.
Type A. Type B
3x + 15 = 4x + 10
- 15. - 15
3x = 4x - 5
-4x. -4x
-x = -5
-x/-1 = -5/-1
x = 5
Check:
3(5) + 15 = 4(5) + 10
15 + 15 = 20 + 10
30 = 30
Therefore, the trees will be the same height in 5 years.
Amy = x
Betty = y
Carl = z
x + y = 29
x + z = 27
y + z = 22
y = 29 - x
z = 27 - x
29 - x + 27 - x = 22
-2x + 56 = 22
-2x = - 34
x = 17
y = 12
z = 10
Oldest child is Amy (17) and youngest child is Carl (10)
17 - 10 = 7
The difference between oldest child and youngest child is 7 years.
