Answer:

9 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dotty is 51 years old and Esmerelda is 23 now.

Now, x years ago the age of Dotty was (51 - x) years and the age of Esmerelda was (23 - x) years.

Assume that x years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age.

So, we can write the equation as

3(23 - x) = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 3x = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 51 = 3x - x

⇒ 18 = 2x

⇒ x = 9 years.

Therefore, 9 years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age. (Answer)

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. Today's cafeteria s
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Equation 1: 14t + 61s = 150

Equation 2: 14t + 25s = 78

Use Elimination (x)

(-1) (14t + 25s) = (78) (-1)

-14t - 25s = -78

14t + 61s = 150

+ -14t - 25s = -78

--------------------------

36s = 72

s = 2

Salad costs $2

Then find t

14t + 61(2) = 150

14t + 122 = 150

14t = 28

t = 2

Sandwich costs $2
