<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christopher. 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher. How old is Christoper now?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The present age of Christoper is 42 years old

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christoper

Let the present age of Christoper be "x"

Then, Present age of Ishaan = 2 times as old as Christoper

present age of Ishaan = 2x

<em><u>35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher</u></em>

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = Present age of Ishaan - 35

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 2x - 35

Similarly,

Age of christoper 35 years ago = Present age of christoper - 35

Age of christoper 35 years ago = x - 35

From given statement, 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 7 times the age of Christoper 35 years ago

(2x - 35) = 7(x - 35)

<em><u>Solve the above equation for "x"</u></em>

2x - 35 = 7x - 245

2x - 7x = -245 + 35

-5x = -210

Thus present age of Christoper is 42 years old

Answer:

$x=20; y=50$ or $(20, 50)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution means plugging in one variable's value that consists of the opposite variable. Because $y=3x-10$ is already specified, you can plug it into the second equation's $y$ value. After doing that, it looks like this:

$-4x+2y=20→-4x+2(3x-10)=20$

Then you would distribute the $3$ across the parentheses next to it, like this:

$-4x+2(3x-10)=20→-4x+6x-20=20$

Then, add like terms, like this:

$-4x+6x-20=20→2x=40$

Then divide both side by $2$ to isolate $x$ .

$x=20$

Now, you can plug $20$ ( $x$ ) into either equation, but the first one seems simpler so you would pick that. It would look like this:

$y=3x-10→y=3(20)-10$

Solving would look like this:

$y=3(20)-10→y=60-10→y=50$

So the answer is $x=20; y=50$ or $(20, 50)$ .
