Devaughn's age is three times Sydney's age. The sum of their ages is 24 . What is Sydney's age?

2 answers:

6 0

Sydney's age = x
Devaughn's age= 3x

So you get the equation:
x+3x=24
4x=24 (combine like terms)
x=6 (divide both sides by 4)

Let, the age of Sydney = x
Age of Devaughn = 3x

It is given that, x + 3x = 24
4x = 24
x = 24/4
x = 6

In short, Sydney is 6 Years old

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

y = -x + 1

2x + 3y = 6

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

Substitute in y: 2x + 3(-x + 1) = 6
Distribute 3: 2x - 3x + 3 = 6
Combine like terms: -x + 3 = 6
Isolate x terms: -x = 3
Isolate x: x = -3

Step 3: Solve for y

Define equation: y = -x + 1
Substitute in x: y = -(-3) + 1
Simplify: y = 3 + 1
Add: y = 4

Answer:

C = n + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well looking at the line on the graph we can see that the y intercept is 2 because the y intercept is the point in the line that touches the y axis.

And the slope is how fat away each points are from each other on a line so we can find the slope by using two points on the line, we can use (1,3) and (2,4).

So we set up the formula like this $\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}$ .
