Answer:

Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Dan's age now be D.

Let Cary's age now be C.

"Cary is 7 years older than Dan."

C = D + 7

"In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 79. "

In 7 years, the ages of Dan and Cary will be D + 7 and C + 7, respectively.

D + 7 + C + 7 = 79

C + D + 14 = 79

C + D = 65

C = D + 7

The last two equations in bold above form a system of equations. Since the second equation is already solved for C, we use the substitution method.

D + 7 + D = 65

2D + 7 = 65

2D = 58

D = 29

C = D + 7

C = 29 + 7

C = 36

Answer: Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option 3: 12y

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial term is usually made of a variable and a co-efficient.

Like terms are those terms that have the same variables i.e. x and 44x are like terms.

Given expression is:

6y-2y+8y

All the terms have only y which means that all three terms are alike.

The coefficients of like terms are added or subtracted according to their sign.

6y-2y+8y = 12y

Hence,

The correct answer is Option 3: 12y
