Answer:

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is to find Simon's age and Marcie's age.</em>

<em />

Let Simon's age be x and Marcie's age be y

<u>Simon is 3 years more than 4 times marcie, so we can write:</u>

x = 4y + 3

Also,

<u>Sum of their ages is 58, so we can write:</u>

x + y = 58

or x = 58 - y

Now, we substitute this into 1st equation and solve for y first:

x = 4y + 3\\58-y = 4y + 3\\58-3=4y+y\\55=5y\\y=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11

We know

x = 58 - y

so,

x = 58 - 11

x = 47

So,

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11

deff fn [24]
There is a 33.3% chance of rolling a number less than 6. It’s 2/6, which is reduced to 1/3. = that to x/100, multiply 1 x 100, and divide that by 3. So it’s 100 divided by 3, and that’s 33.3, which is the percentage.
