Using equations to solve the word problem, Katherine's age is 8 years
<h3>Word Problem</h3>
Word problem are often mathematical problem that are represented in words and sometimes can be solved using an equation.
To solve this problem, we have to represent the problem using mathematical equations;
Let;
Katherine's age = x²
Alexandra = 5(x + 1)
Sum of their age = 109
5(x + 1) + x² = 109
5x + 5 + x² = 109
x² + 5x - 104 = 0
Solving for the equation; x = 8
Katherine's age is 8

So you know that:
2x+y=14+y
and
5x-y=x+13y
Here you have two equations with two unknown variables:
If you isolate x from the second equations you get:
x=(7/2)y
Insert that in the first equations and solve for y:
2*(7/2)y+y=14+y
y=2
Insert that value for y in one of the two equations (i chose the first):
2x+2=14+2
x=7
Therefore x=7
Hope that helped.
Actually you could start with isolating x, and then insert that in one of the two equations.
You didn't type the equation correctly.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Radius = r = 3 in.
Height = h = 2 in.
