5/11 because if you simplify starting at 40/88 you get 5/11
Y = -2x + 8 = x - 4
x + 2x = 8 + 4
3x = 12
x = 4
y = -2(4) + 8 = -8 + 8 = 0
Solution is (4, 0)
~Hello There!~

Rearrange for s

After 8 years, the new equation would be:

Cross multiply

Subtract 8

Substitute old equation

Solve to get m as 16.
s = 40.
Their current ages are 16 and 40 and the different is 24 years. Therefore, Caitlin is correct.
Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
Have A Great Day ^_^
