Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k be Kevin's age and Let d be Daniel's age.
Given : Kevin is 3 years older than Daniel.
i.e. Age of Kelvin = Age of Daniel+ 3
i.e. In terms of variables , k= d+3 (1)
Two years ago,
Age of Kelvin = k-2
Age of Daniel = d-2
Since Two years ago ,Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel.
i.e. In terms of variables :
(2)
From (1) and (2) the system of equations represents this situation are

Answer:
(x, y) = (4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Equating the expressions for y gives ...
-1/4x +6 = x +1
5 = 5/4x . . . . . . . add 1/4x-1
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4/5
y = x +1 = 4 +1
y = 5
The solution is (x, y) = (4, 5).
Answer: 17/18
In words, this is seventeen eighteenths
==========================================
Work Shown:
4/9 + 9/18
8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below
(8+9)/18
17/18
----------------
note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.
The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.
In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.
