Linda is twice the age of Vera.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Tanya is 20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Vera = x years

The age of Linda is twice the age of Vera = 2x years

Tanya  is four less than four times the age of Linda = 4(2x)-4 = 8x-4

Total age of Vera, Linda and Tanya is:

x+2x+8x-4

Combine the like terms:

11x-4

But now their total age is two more than nine times the age of Vera:

11x-4 = 9x+2

Solve the expression

Combine the like terms:

11x-9x=2+4

2x=6

Divide both the sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x= 3

Thus the age of Vera is 3 years.

The age of Linda is 2x= 2*3 = 6 years

The age of Tanya is 8x-4 = 8*3 - 4 = 24-4 = 20years....

Use elimination to solve the system of equations given by 3x - 2y = 10 and 5x + 2y = 6​
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

x = -2  y= -8 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is an equal number of y's, they cancel out when subtracting. You can put either equation on top. You will get same answer.

<u>To find x:</u>

<u>If you do (3x - 2y = 10) - (5x + 2y = 6​),</u> you will get -2x=4. Divide both sides by -2, and get x = -2.

<u>If you do (5x + 2y = 6​) - (3x - 2y = 10)</u>, you will get 2x=-4.Divide both sides by 2, and get x = -2.

<u>To find y:</u>

Substitute -2 for x in either equation. It doesn't matter.

<u>For 3(-2) - 2y = 10:</u>

3(-2) - 2y = 10 ––Multiply

-6 - 2y =10 ––Add 6 to both sides to get y alone

-2y = 16 ––Divide by -2

y = -8

<u>For 5x + 2y = 6​:</u>

5(-2) + 2y = 6​ ––Multiply

-10 + 2y = 6 ––Add 10 to both sides to get y alone

2y = 16 ––Divide by 2

y = 8
