Step-by-step explanation:
let age of samantha be 3x and age of jason be x.(since samantha is three times as old as jason)
Now,
3x+x=56 (sum of their ages is 56)
or 4x=56
or x=56/4
or x=14
therefore age of samantha=3x=3×14=42
age of jason = x = 14
I’m going to say a.3 years something is telling me it’s tht
The trapezoid,segment is false
Answer:
(7, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply first eq. by 3 to get 6x - 3y = 60
now do
6x + 3y = 60
- 6x - 5y = 12
--------------------
8y = 48
solve for y: y = 6
with this y value, plug it in to the first equation (easier to solve) and get 2x + 6 = 20
solve for x and get x = 7
so ans is (7, 6)
