Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • let the oldest one = 5x
  • Let the youngest one = 3x
  • Let the middle one = 4x

Equation

  • 3x + 18 = 5x  

Solution

  • 3x + 18 = 5x                         Subtract 3x from both sides
  • 3x - 3x + 18 = 5x - 3x          Combine
  • 18 = 2x                                 Divide by 2
  • 18/2 = 2x/2                          Divide
  • x = 9

Answer

  • 3x = 3*9 = 27
  • 5x = 5*9 = 45
  • 4x = 4*9 = 36
  • The sum is 108

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are :

9x-3y=-6

3x-y=2.....(1)

5y=15x+10

5y-15x=10

or

y-3x=2 .....(2)

Equations (1) and (2) shows that the lines are parallel. We know that for parallel lines, there is no solution.
