Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sam be x

Let Susan be y

x = y+11

x + y = 27

Substitute (x) with (y+11)

(y+11) + y = 27

Solve the equation

2y + 11 = 27

2y = 16

y = 8

Susan's age is 8.

Sam's age is 8 + 11

Sam's age is 19

Hope this helped :)

Explain how you can determine the number of real number solutions of a system of equations in which one equation is linear and t

DerKrebs [107]

Isolate one variable in the system of equations. Use substitution to create a one-variable equation. Then, set the quadratic equation equal to zero and find the discriminant. If the discriminant is negative, then there are no real number solutions. If the discriminant is zero, then there is one real number solution. If the discriminant is positive, then there are two real number solutions.
