Answer: Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2h−3=3
Step 1: Add 3 to both sides.
2h−3+3=3+3
2h=6
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.
2h/2 = 6/2
h = 3.
6x+3y=33..........(1)
4x+y=15
y=15-4x.........(2)
substitute value of y from (2) in (1)
6x+3(15-4x)=33
distribute 3 over the bracket
6x+45-12x =33
-6x=33-45
-6x=-12
x=2
plugging this value of x in equation 2 we get
15-4x=y
15-4(2)=y
y=15-8
y=7
Answer is x=2 and y=7
Answer:
15 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by defining the variables that we are going to use throughout our working:
Let the current age of Wei Ling and Wei Xuan be L and X years old respectively.
Next, form equations using the given information.
<u>5 years </u><u>ago</u>
Wei Ling: (L -5) years old
Wei Xuan: (X -5) years old
Given that the ratio of Wei Ling's age to that of Wei Xuan's is 2: 5,

Cross multiply:
2(X -5)= 5(L -5)
Expand:
2X -10= 5L -25
2X= 5L -25 +10
2X= 5L -15 -----(1)
<u>9 years time</u>
Wei Ling: (L +9) years old
Wei Xuan: (X +9) years old
Given that the ratio of Wei Ling's age to that of Wei Xuan is 3: 4,

Cross multiply:
3(X +9)= 4(L +9)
Expand:
3X +27= 4L +36
3X= 4L +36 -27
3X= 4L +9 -----(2)
Let's solve using the elimination method.
(1) ×3:
6X= 15L -45 -----(3)
(2) ×2:
6X= 8L +18 -----(4)
(3) -(4):
6X -6X= 15L -45 -(8L +18)
0= 15L -45 -8L -18
0= 7L -63
7L= 63
L= 63 ÷7
L= 9
Substitute L= 9 into (1):
2X= 5(9) -15
2X= 45 -15
2X= 30
X= 30 ÷2
X= 15
Thus, Wei Xuan is 15 years old now.
