Let Morgan = X

Then Mary = 5X ( 5 times as old).


The sum is 72, so 5x +x = 72

5x +x = 6x:

6x = 72

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 72 / 6

x = 12

Morgan is 12 years old.

Mary is 5(12) = 60 years old.

Systems of equations, help please?
lord [1]
4x + 3y = 54 (1)
3x + 9y = 108 (2)

Multiply (1) by (-3)
-12x - 9y = -162 
3x + 9y = 108
---------------------add
-9x  =  -54
   x = 6

plug x = 6 into (1) to find y
4(6) + 3y = 54
24 + 3y = 54
3y = 30
  y = 10

Answer
(6 , 10)

Hope it helps.
