Answer:
Part a) Daniel's age is 2 years
Part b) Kevin's age is 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The question is </em></u>
Part a) How old is Daniel?
Part b) How old is Kevin?
Let
x ----> Kevin's age
y ----> Daniel's age
we know that
-----> equation A
----> equation B
Equate equation A and equation B
solve for y
therefore
Daniel's age is 2 years
<em>Find the value of x</em>
substitute the value of y in any of the two equations
therefore
Kevin's age is 8 years
Answer:
Explanation:
3 + 2x - y = 0
Or 2x - y = -3 (1)
-3-7y = 10x
Or -10x - 7y = 3 (2)
2x - y = -3 (1)
-10x - 7y = 3 (2)
———————
Multiply 5 to (1)
5(2x - y = -3)
-10x - 7y = 3
———————
10x - 5y = -15
-10x - 7y = 3
———————
-12y = -12
y = -12/-12
y = 1
Plug y value in (1)
2x - 1 = -3
2x = -3 + 1
2x = -2
x = -2/2 = -1
Therefore, x = -1 and y = 1
Answer:
a number plus 14
fourteen more than a number
a number increased by 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The phrases which can be represented by the algebraic expression x + 14 are
Let x = the unknown number
a number plus 14
= x + 14
fourteen more than a number
= x + 14
a number increased by 14
x + 14
