<span>m = j + 16
m + 5 = 3j
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
m - j = 16
m - 3j = -5
---
x - y = 16
x - 3y = -5

so now that you have your equations formed, just solve. 

x - y = 16 , which means that x = y + 16 
substitute for x in the second equation : 
 
Hope this helps

M=martina's age now
x=joe's age now

m is 16 older than x means
m=16+x


in 5 years (m+5 and x+5) she will be 3 times as old a joey
m+5=3(x+5)

so
we have
m=16+x
m+5=3(x+5)



a.
m=16+x

b.
x+5
m+5

c.
m=16+x
m+5=3(x+5)

d.
solving
sub 16+x for m
16+x+5=3(x+5)
distribute and add like terms
21+x=3x+15
minus x both sides
21=2x+15
minus 15 both sides
6=2x
divide by 2
3=x

m=16+x
m=16+3
m=19

joey is 3 and martina is 19

Troyanec [42]
Let x = total distance he covered
3x/4         by bus
1/2 . x/4  =  x/8  by jogging
the remaining distance  =  x/8               by walking
thus      x/8 = 800ft
           x =    8 . 800 = 6400ft
