Answer: 44 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Brita's age be x and the daughter's age be y , then from the first statement :

From the second statement :

solving the resulting linear equation , add the two equations , we have


substitute 74 into equation 1 to find the value of y



Therefore :
Eva = 44 years
Step 1
distribute the -3
-3(y-5)=24
-3y+15=24
step 2
subtract 15 from both sides
-3y =9
Step 3
divide -3 on both sides
y=-3
He gave away 8 so he would have 12/20 which is 60% left :)
What are you solving for? if you are solving for x, then x=(P-12)/(Q-13)
