Let Sydney's age be x
Christine's age is 2x
Sum of their age is 54
x + 2x = 54
3x = 54
x = 18
Sydney is 18 years old.
Answer:
This is a bit confusing for me but here we go.
1x110
10x11 and
i don't really know the third

Answer:
Elimination method
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a choice to eliminate the y or x:
I chose x
So now we double the second equation to make the co efficient of x the same:
6x-5y = -3
6x+4y = 24
Now we subtract both equations to eliminate the x's:
6x-5y = -3
- - -
6x+4y = 24
-9y = -27
y = 3
Now we substitute this value into either equation 1 or 2:
I chose 2
3x + 2(3) =12
Simplify:
3x + 6 =12
Subtract 6 from both sides:
3x + 6 -6 = 12 -6
Simplify:
3x = 6
Divide both sides by 3:
3x÷3 = 6÷3
Simplify:
x = 2
-8 = (10x - 22)/11
Multiply both sides by 11:
-88 = 10x - 22
Add 22 to both sides:
-66 = 10x
Divide both sides by 10
-6.6 = x
Hope it helped :)
