Answer:

  • 45 and 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be r and m

<u>We have:</u>

  • r + m = 117
  • 5r = 9 + 3m

<u>Substitute m in the second equation and solve for r:</u>

  • m = 117 - r
  • 5r = 9 + 3( 117 - r)
  • 5r = 9 + 351 - 3r
  • 5r + 3r = 360
  • 8r = 360
  • r = 360/8
  • r = 45

<u>Then m is</u>

  • m = 117 - 45 = 72

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

x = -2,   y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a system of equations, we know that the they use the same variables. To use substitution to solve a system of equation, we must take one equation and solve it for a variable, then you plug the solution into that variable for the other equation:

-2x + y = 11

y = 2x + 11

-------

4x + 4y = 20

4x + 4(2x + 11) = 20

4x + 8x + 44 = 20

12x + 44 = 20

12x = -24

x = -2

Then we can plug "x" into the first equation:

-2x + y = 11

-2(-2) + y = 11

4 + y = 11

y = 7
