Answer:
a) Here we have:
"In Family A, the youngest child is 7 years younger than the oldest, who is 18"
Let's define:
Y = age of the youngest child.
O = age of the oldest child.
Then we know that:
Y = O - 7
O = 18
Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:
Y = 18 - 7 = 11.
b) Here we have:
"In Family B, the middle child is 5 years older than the youngest child."
Let's define:
Y = age of the youngest child.
M = age of the middle child.
Here we have only one equation:
M = Y + 5.

Hello!

To find the amount of cookies sold, we will need to divide the cost of each cookie from the total raised. Therefore:
Let c = cookies sold
60 = 0.75c
Divide both sides by 0.75:
60 / 0.75 = c
c = 80 cookies.
