Answer:
Cheryl's age = x = 7 years
Rita's age = y = 17 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Cheryl's age = x
Rita's age = y
Two years ago, Rita was three times older than Cheryl
(y - 2) = 3(x - 2)
y - 2 = 3x - 6
y = 3x - 6 + 2
= 3x - 4
y = 3x - 4
In 3 years, Rita will be twice older than Cheryl
(y + 3) = 2(x + 3)
y + 3 = 2x + 6
y = 2x + 6 - 3
= 2x + 3
y = 2x + 3
Equate both equations
3x - 4 = 2x + 3
Collect like terms
3x - 2x = 3 + 4
x = 7 years
Substitute x = 7 into
y = 2x + 3
= 2(7) + 3
= 14 + 3
= 17
y = 17 years
Cheryl's age = x = 7 years
Rita's age = y = 17 years
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
12^2 + 9^2 = 225
square root of 225 = 15
Answer:
The answer to your question is: x = 1, y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll change decimals to fractions
4.5 = 9/2
12.5 = 25/2
3.25 = 13/4
0.75 = 3/4
-9/2 x - 2 y = - 25/2 (I)
13/4 x - y = - 3/4 (ll)
Process
from (II) y = 13/4x + 3/4
Sunstitution -9/2x -2(13/4 x + 3/4) = - 25/2
-9/2 x - 13/2 x - 3/2 = -25/2
Multiply by 2 -9 x - 13 x - 3 = -25
-22 x = -25 + 3
-22 x = -22
x = 22/22
x = 1
y = 13/4 (1) + 3/4
y = 16/4
y = 4
