R = 3S

R + 6 = 2 (S+6)

Substitute the first equation in the second one:

(3S) + 6 = 2 (S + 6)

3S + 6 = 2S + 12

S + 6 = 12

R = 18
S = 6

Check:

R is 3 times S now.

In 6 years, R will be (18 + 6) = 24, S will be (6 + 6) = 12.

24 = 2 x 12 yay

Answer: f(y) x g(y) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2y^3-y^2+2y-1}{y^3-y^2+y-1}\cdot \frac{2y^2-3y+1}{4y^2-4y+1}\\\\= \frac{4y^5-8y^4+9y^3-9y^2+5y-1}{4y^5-8y^4+9y^3-9y^2+5y-1} \\\\= \frac{(y-1)(2y-1)(2y-1)(y^2+1)}{(y-1)(2y-1)(2y-1)(y^2+1)} \\\\= 1$
