Answer:
So, the initial number of apples is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of apples of An, Binh, and Chi are the same. An gave away 17 apples, Chi gave away 19 apples, so now Chi's apples are 5 times higher than the total remaining apples of An and Binh. How many apples did each of you have at first? (Solve the above problem by equation or system of equations)
Let the initial numbers of apples is a.
An gave 17 apples
Chi gave 19 apples
So,
x - 19 = 5 (x - 17 + x)
x - 19 = 5 (2x - 17)
x - 19 = 10 x - 85
9 x = 66
x = 7
Answer:
y = +6
Step-by-step explanation:
-y + 6 = 0
Subtract 6 from both sides;
-y = -6
Divide both sides by -1
y = 6
Answer: Arun is now 20, Shree is 10 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
In the system of equations Arun's age is a. Shree is s
a = 2s .(current age equation) Subtract 5 from each for five years ago,
a-5 = 3(s-5) . Substitute 2s for a in the second equation
2s -5 = 3(s-5) distribute and reorganize
2s-5 = 3s -15 . 15 - 5 = 3s - 2s
10 = s . Substitute into the first equation to find a
a = 2(10)
a = 20
5 years ago Shree was 5 and Arun was 15
