Answer:
Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write a word problem for the equation.

Let x represent the present age of Carlos.
Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.
Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)
Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2
Answer:
- y = -5/2x + 5
- y = 2x -1
- y = 24/11
- y = 4x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for y, subtract the x-term and divide by the coefficient of y.
5x +2y = 10
2y = -5x +10
y = -5/2x + 5
__
2y -4x = -2
2y = 4x -2
y = 2x -1
__
7y +4y = 24
y = 24/11
We assume there is a typo, but cannot tell what it is. Use the same method as described and demonstrated for the other problems.
__
-2x +1/2y = 2
1/2y = 2x +2
y = 4x +4
