Ayanna is 17 and Brittany is 14.
To find this, let's write two equations using the given information.
a = b + 3
3b + 2a = 76
Now, just substitute the first equation into the second and solve.
3b + 2(b + 3) = 76
3b + 2b + 6 = 76
5b = 70
b = 14
If Brittany is 14, then Ayanna is 3 years older at 17.
X = -2 and -5
You can set both equal to 0 to find the answers.
I would be happy to help, is there anything else like the options or the graphs you could add?
