Hi!
So we have to make a system of equations here.
Let sibling 1 be O and sibling 2 be Y (for older and younger)
So:
O + Y = 64
O = 64 - Y
(Either one works)
The older sibling is 6 years older.
O = Y + 6
Make everything in terms of Y.
64 - Y = Y + 6
Same to both:
58 = 2y
2y = 58
Divide by 2 on both sides:
y = 29
Since the older sibling is 6 years older:
29 + 6 = 35
Y = 29
O = 35
Let me know if you have any questions.
The answer Linear because Y is decreasing by 2.
Answer:
Addition and subtraction are inverse operations. Start with 7, then add 3 we get 10, now subtract 3 and we get back to 7.
Another Example: Multiplication and division are inverse operations. Start with 6, multiply by 2 we get 12, now divide by 2 and we get back to 6.
Set each piece = to 56, assuming that the 2 variables for which you are not solving are each equal to 0.
7x -2(0)-14(0) = 56
7x=56 (divide each side by 7)
X = ?
(__, 0, 0)
7(0) - 2y - 14 (0) = 56
-2y = 56 (divide each side by -2)
Y= ?
(0, __ , 0)
7(0) - 2(0) - 14z = 56
-14z = 56 (divide each side by -14)
z = ?
(0, 0, __)
