To find y, divide the first equation by 2.
y = 4
To find x, use that value for y in the second equation. Add 4, then divide by 2.
15·4 = 2x -4
60 +4 = 2x
64/2 = x = 32
The solution is (x, y) = (32, 4).
y = 4
To find x, use that value for y in the second equation. Add 4, then divide by 2.
15·4 = 2x -4
60 +4 = 2x
64/2 = x = 32
The solution is (x, y) = (32, 4).
Laura's age is 9 years.
Solution:
Let x be the age of April.
Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age
<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>
Half of April's age =
2 years more than half of April's age =
Combined age of April and Laura = 23
⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23
To add the fractions make the denominators same.
Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get
Denominators are same, now add the fractions.
Do cross multiplication.
Aprils's age = 14 years
Laura's age =
= 7 + 2
Laura's age = 9
Hence Laura's age is 9 years.
