Define x :
--------------------------------------------------
Let Cheryl be x years old.
Cheryl = x
Lisa = x + 6
--------------------------------------------------
In two years time:
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x + 2
Lisa = x + 8
--------------------------------------------------
Lisa will be twice as old as Cheryl :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)
--------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)
x + 8 = 2x + 4
x = 4
--------------------------------------------------
Find their age :
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x = 4
Lisa = x + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10
--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Lisa is 10 years old now.

Answer:
10/48 - 2/24 - 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
answer is 1/12
Answer:
You can use the basic multipication as an infrence


We could solve for 'x' in the 2nd equation and then plug that into the first equation for 'x' and solve for 'y':

Subtract 6y to both sides:

Divide -2 to both sides:

Plug in 3y + 17 for 'x' in the first equation:


Distribute 5:

Combine like terms:

Subtract 85 to both sides:

Divide 17 to both sides:

This is the y-coordinate of the solution.
