Answer:

Ishaan is 49 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Christopher be 'C'.

Let the present age of Ishaan be 'I'.

From the given data, we can form equations which will help us solve the problem.

Christopher is 20 years younger than Ishaan. This means:

C = I - 20                  . . . (1)

Fourteen years ago, Ishaan would have been (I -14) years old and Christopher (C - 14) years old.

From the data, I - 14 = 3(C - 14)         . . . (2)

Substituting the value of C in Equation 2, we get:

I - 14 = 3(I - 20 - 14)

⇒ I - 14 = 3(I - 34)

⇒ I - 14 = 3I - 112

⇒ 2I = 112 + 14 = 98

⇒ I = 49

So, Ishaan is 49 years old.

Answer:

(2, 22 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 7x + 8 → (1)

y = x + 20 → (2)

Substitute y = 7x + 8 into (2)

7x + 8 = x + 20 ( subtract x from both sides )

6x + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in (2) for corresponding value of y

y = x + 20 = 2 + 20 = 22

Solution is (2, 22 )
