Answer:

Ivy is 6 years old and Rose is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, two variables are necessary since we have two unknown variables: Ivy's age and Rose's age.

Ivy's age will be x

and Rose's age will be y

"Ivy is half as old as her sister":

x=\frac{y}{2}

this will be our <u>fist equation.</u>

"In six years, Ivy will be two-thirds as old as Rose"

in six years Ivy will have x+6 years, and Rose will have y +6 years, so for this sentence we have the equation:

x+6=\frac{2}{3}(y+6)

this will be our <u>second equation.</u>

Substituting the value of x from the first equation into the second, and solving for y(Rose):

\frac{y}{2}+6=\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\\frac{y+12}{2} =\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\y+12=\frac{4}{3} (y+6)\\3(y+12)=4(y+6)\\3y+36=4y+24\\36-24=4y-3y\\12=y

Rose is 12 years old.

and Ivy (using the fist equation):

x=\frac{12}{2}=6

Ivy is 6 years old.
