Girl age is 11 years old
Fathers age is 39 years old

How to solve it:

Let the girls age be x years
Let the fathers age be (x+28) years

X+X+28=50

2x=50-28
2x=22
X=11

(11+28)= 39

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x,\ y,\ z-\text{three numbers}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}(x+2z)-y=1&(1)\\z+2x=3&(2)\\x+3y+z=18&(3)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\\z+2x=3\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\z=3-2x\qquad(*)\\\\\text{Substitute}\ (*)\ \text{to (1) and (3)}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+2(3-2x)-y=1&\text{use the distributive property}\\x+3y+(3-2x)=18\end{array}\right$

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+(2)(3)+(2)(-2x)-y=1\\x+3y+3-2x=18&\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+6-4x-y=1&\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\(x-2x)+3y=15\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}(x-4x)-y=-5\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-3x-y=-5&\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right$

$\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-9x-3y=-15\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add all sides of the equations}\\.\qquad-10x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-10)}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=0}\\\\\text{Put it to the second equation:}\\-0+3y=15\\3y=15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\boxed{y=5}\\\\\text{Put the value of}\ x\ \text{to}\ (*):\\\\z=3-2(0)\\\boxed{z=3}$

there are 27 red or blue marbles in the bag the number of red marbles is five less than three times the number of the blue marbl

alexdok [17]

So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19

red=19
blue=8
