X = the age of Mr. Gilliam
His wife is 3 years older, so the age of Mr. Gilliam's wife = x+3
The sum of their ages is 95.
Mr. Gilliam is 46 years old.
Answer:
The running club has 35 members
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the total members of the running club
we know that
The total members of the running club multiplied by 5/7 plus 6 must be equal to 31 people
so
Solve for x
therefore
The running club has 35 members
Subsitution
2y-x=5
minus 2y both sides
-x=5-2y
times -2 both sides
x=2y-5
subsitute 2y-5 for x in other equation
(2y-5)²+y²-25=0
expand
4y²-20y+25+y²-25=0
5y²-20y=0
factor
5y(y-4)=0
set to zero
5y=0
y=0
y-4=0
y=4
subsitute back
for y=0
x=2y-5
x=2(0)-5
x=-5
one solution is (-5,0)
for x=4
x=2y-5
x=2(4)-5
x=8-5
x=3
one solution is (3,4)
the 2 soltuions are (-5,0) and (3,4)
Its kinda blurry and I can't read the whole question
