<em>x = markers</em>
<em>y = colored pencils</em>
12x = y
x= 72
y = 6
Okay, so what I did was divide 78 by 12 (to find the number of colored pencils) which gave me 6.5. You can't have half a colored pencil, so I rounded the number down to get 6. To find the number of markers, I multiplied 12 and 6 <em>(12x = 6) </em>which gave me 72. To check my answer I added the two amounts, 72 + 6, which gave me 78.

Answer:Mark Is 9 years old; Christine is 5 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Present age
LET mark age be x
Christine be x-4 yrs
In 3 yrs Time
Mark will be x+3 yrs old
Christine will be (x -4 +3) = x-1 years old
Also, In 3 years time
Christine = 2/3 Mark
such that
x-1 = 2/3(x+3)
x -1= 2x+6 / 3
3x -3= 2x+6
3X--2X = 6+3
=X=9
Mark Is 9 years old
Christine is x -4 = 9-4=5 years old
Make 2 eqn, let a be apples and o be oranges:
1. 5a + 4o = 10
2. 5a + 5o = 11
set up an elimination:
1. minus 2.
5a + 4o = 10
- 5a + 5o = 11
____________
o = 1
sub “o” into one of the eqn
5a + 5(1) = 11
5a = 11-5
5a = 6
a = 6/5
a = 1.2
therefore, an orange costs $1.00 and an apple costs $1.20
