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.

Lin sold 4 more shirts than Greg. Fran sold 3 times as many shirts as Lin. In total the three sold 51 shirts. Which represents t
Alex17521 [72]
 <span>Your Answer: D 

Why.... 

You can make equations out of the information 
Let L be Lin, G be Greg, and F be Fran 

L = 4 + G ---"Lin sold 4 more shirts than Greg" 
F = 3L ---"Fran sold 3 times as many shirts as Lin" 
F + G + L = 51 ---"In total the three sold 51 shirts" 

Use F + G + L = 51 
Substitute the equations in for F and L (because you need to know the G) like this.... 

(3L) + G + (4+G) = 51 

You still have a variable besides G in there... you can use the L= 4+G and substitute again so that there are only G's 

( 3(4+G) ) + G + (4+G) = 51 ---- SIMPLIFY :D 
( 12 + 3G ) + G + 4 + G = 51 
12 + 3G + G + 4 + G = 51 ---Combine like terms 
16 + 5G = 51 </span>
