Answer:
=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The first given equation is:
4x + 3y = 6
which can be rewritten as:
2(2x) + 3y = 6 .............> equation I
The second given equation is:
2x + 2y = 5
which can be rewritten as:
2x = 5 - 2y ........> equation II
Substitute with equation II in equation I to get the value of y as follows:
2(5-2y) + 3y = 6
10 - 4y + 3y = 6
-y = 6-10 = -4
y = 4
Substitute with the y in equation II to get x as follows:
2x = 5 - 2y
2x = 5 - 2(4)
2x = 5 - 8 = -3
x = -3/2
From the above calculations:
x = -3/2
y = 4
L = liz's age now
J = Jack's age now
L-1 and J-1 are their ages one year ago
L-1=3(J-1)
L-1=3J-3
L=3J-3+1
L=3J-2 (to be used later)
L+2 and J+2 are their ages in two years
L+2=2(J+2)
replace L by 3J-2
3J-2+2=2(J+2)
3J=2J+4
3J-2J=4
J=4 is Jack's age now
L-1=3(J-1)
L-1=3(4-1)
L-1=3*3
L-1=9
L=9+1
L=10 is Liz's age now
Answer: A) 15
A natural number is basically a counting number {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...} so any positive whole number. That is why 15 is the answer. Choices B and D are fractional values, so we can rule them out. We can rule out choice C because this value is negative.
