Answer:
x=8, y=25. As a point it's (8,25)
Step-by-step explanation:
here is the system:
y=x+17
y=3x+1
notice how both of the equations equal y. Therefore, we can substitute one expression as y in the other expression. (It'll equal y=y, which is a true statement)
so it'll be:
3x+1=x+17
subtract 1 from both sides
3x=x+16
subtract x from both sides
2x=16
divide by 2
x=8
now, substitute 8 as x into one of the equations and solve for y
let's take the first one for example
y=8+17
y=25
so the answer is x=8, y=25. As a point it's (8,25)

Answer:
what is this meant to mean¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯
Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45
Answer:
Four billion, two-hundred seventy five thousand.
Answer: 5 9 18. The youngest child would be 5, the middle child would be 9, and the eldest would be 18 years old.
