Answer:

Nancy is 6 years old and Stan is 11 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Stan be x.

Then age of Nancy = y

x - y = 5

Last year she was twice as young as he was

Age of Nancy last year = y-1

Age of Stan last year = x-1

2 × (y-1)= x-1

2y -2 = 5 + y -1

y = 6

x = y + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

Nancy is 6 years old and Stan is 11 years old now.

Answer:

<h3>a. 3x+15</h3><h3>b. 4x-16</h3><h3>c. 10x+2</h3><h3>D. 7x-63y</h3>

solution,

a. \: 3(x + 5) \\  \:  \:  = 3 \times x + 3  \times 5 \\  \:  \:  = 3x + 15

c. \: 2(5x + 1) \\  \:  = 2 \times 5x + 2 \times 1 \\  \:  \:  = 10x + 2

d . \: 7(x - 9y) \\  \:  = 7 \times x - 7 \times 9y \\  \:  \:  = 7x - 63y

Hope this helps..
