Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1
Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2
Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3
• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2
(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14
6y = 14 – 3/2
6y = 25/2
y = 25/12
• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3
x = (25/12 + 3/2)
x = 43/12

Answer:
Sadie took 47 minutes to finish her test.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Laura's time be x minutes.
Then we have:
x + 3x - 16 = 68
4x = 84
x = 21 minutes.
So Sadie took 3(21) - 16 = 63-16
= 47 minutes.
