Answer = 12

Explanation:
Let x be Timothy’s present age.
The, Adele’s present age = x+5

After 3 years, Timothy’s age = x+3
Adele’s age = x+5+3 = x+8

According to the question, we have

x + 3 = 2/3 (x+8)

3(x + 3) = 2x + 16

3x + 9 = 2x + 16

3x - 2x = 19 - 9

x = 7

Therefore, Timothy’s current age is 7 years and Adele’s current age is 12 years

I tried this few times can i get some help
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Y=4 X= -6 or (-6,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so

3x+10y=22

-3x-8y=-14

  1. basically, it's like one big equation. First, subtract 3x from -3x which cancels out and gives us 0
  2. 10y minus 8y gives us 2y.
  3. 22 minus 14 gives us 8

3x+10y=22

<u>-3x-8y=-14</u>

0+2y=8

Now that we have this, we can solve for y. in order to do this, we have to divide both sides by 2.

\frac{2y}{2}  =  \frac{8}{2}

From here we know that y=4 because the 2s cancel out leaving y and 8 divided by 2 is 4.

y= 4

Now we can fill in. You can pick any equation for this but I'm going to chose the first one.

3x+10y=22

we can fill in 4 for y

3x+10(4)=22

3x+40=22

Next we are going to subtract 40 on both sides.

3x+40=22

-40 -40

3x= -18

Next, we're going to divide -18 by 3.

\frac{3x}{3}  =  \frac{  - 18}{3}

The 3s cancel out leaving us x. -18 divided by 3 is -6.

x= -6

Hope this helped!! :)

-2x+8-6=-32

lets isolate the x variable:

-2x=-32-8+6

-2x = -34

x= -34/-2

Callie has a new kitten. They can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The weight of cat is <u>14 pounds</u> and the weight of kitten is <u>4 pounds</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Callie has a new kitten. It can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18 pounds.

Now, to find the weight of each animal:

Let the cat's weight be x.

And the kitten weight = \frac{x}{2} -3

Total weight of cat and kitten = 18 pounds.

Now, to set an equation to get the weight of each animal:

(x)+(\frac{x}{2}-3)=18

x+\frac{x}{2} -3=18

\frac{2x+x-6}{2} =18

\frac{3x-6}{2} =18

<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>

<em />3x-6=36<em />

<em>Adding both sides by 6 we get:</em>

<em />3x=42<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 3 we get:</em>

<em />x=14\ pounds.<em />

<em>The weight of cat = 14 pounds.</em>

Substituting the value of x to get the kitten's weight:

\frac{x}{2} -3\\\\=\frac{14}{2}-3\\\\=7-3\\\\=4.

<em>The kitten's weight = 4 pounds.</em>

Therefore, the weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.
