<u>Given Equation</u>:-
- 5x+y=17 . . . . . . . . 1
- x+y=3 . . . . . . . . . . 2
<u>To find</u> :
<u>Solution</u> :
<u>Let's start with equation 2</u>:-
x + y = 3
y = 3 - x
Put the value of y in Equation 1
- 5x+y=17
- 5x + (3 - x) = 17
- 5x - x + 3 = 17
- 4x + 3 = 17
- 4x = 17 - 3
- 4x = 14
- x = 14/4
- x = 7/2
- x = <em>3.5</em>
<u>Now Let's find value of y</u><u>:</u>
put the value of x in equation 2:
y = 3 - x
y = 3 - 3.5
y = <em>0.5</em>

Answer:
Jo's age = x = 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Jo's age = x
Jo's mother, Anne's age = 4x
In four years time, Anne will be three times as old as Jo.
Jo's age =3( x + 4)
Jo's mother, Anne's age = 4x + 4
How old is Jo?
Equate Jo's age and his mother's age
3(x + 4) = 4x + 4
3x + 12 = 4x + 4
3x - 4x = 4 - 12
-x = - 8
Divide both sides by -1
x = 8
Therefore,
Jo's age = x = 8 years
