Mathematics
1 answer:
Gennadij [26K]2 years ago

Answer:

<u>The present age of the mother is 30 years old</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Jane = x

Age of Billy = 5x (Billy is five times as old as Jane)

Age of Sara = 15x (Their mother is now three times as old as Billy)

In 2 years Sara will be eight times as old as Jane, therefore:

15x + 2 = 8 (x + 2)

15x + 2 = 8x + 16

15x - 8x = 16 - 2

7x = 14

x = 14/7

x = 2 ⇒ 5x = 10x ⇒ 15x = 30

Jane's present age is 2, Billy's present age is 10 and Sara's present age is 30

<u>The present age of the mother is 30 years old</u>

Algebra: <br><br> y= x+4<br> y= -x+2
Vikki [24]
To solve for the variables y and x we substitute the second equation into the first meaning that y = -x +2 you substitute y for (-x+2)
so

(-x +2) = x +4
add x to both sides
2 = 2x + 4 
subtract 4 from both sides
-2 = 2x
divide by 2
-1 = x

now plug x back into the original equation

y = (-1) + 4
y = 3

and 

y = -(-1) + 2
y = 1 +2
y = 3

there you have it x = -1 and y = 3

Hope this helps ;)
