Let x = Ben's age

Let y = Ishaan's age.

2 years ago: y + 12 = x

3 years ago 4y = x. Set the equations equal to each other.

y + 12 = 4y. Subtract y from each side.

12 = 3y. Divide each side by 3.

4 = y. Plug this value into any of the original equations.

4 + 12 = 16.

Ben is 16 years old and Ishaan is 4 years old.

Answer: 4.20 gigabyte

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the equation that can be used to determine the the number of gigabytes of data Peyton can use while staying within her budget will be:

48 + 3g = 60.60

3g = 60.60 - 48

3g = 12.60

g = 12.60/3

= 4.20

The number of gigabytes of data is 4.20g
