Hello!

You can make this into two expressions based on what you know

let x stand for Devaughn's age
let y stand for Sydney's age

x = y + 10
x + y = 64

You can put x into the second equatoin

y + 10 + y = 64

Combine like terms

2y + 10 = 64

Subtract both sides by 10

2y = 54

Divide both sides by 2

y = 27

You can put y into the first equation

x = 27 + 10

combine like terms

x = 37

Devaugn is 37 and Sydney is 27

Hope this helps!

There are 14 pieces of fruit in a basket, including 7 bananas.
solniwko [45]
If there are 7 bananas out of 14 pieces of fruit the probability of selecting a banana is 7/14. 7/14 can be reduced to 1/2. 7 divided by 7 is 1, and 14 divided by 7 is 2 making the answer 1/2!
