Answer:
Simon's Age = 47
Marcie's Age = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The question is to find Simon's age and Marcie's age.</em>
<em />
Let Simon's age be x and Marcie's age be y
<u>Simon is 3 years more than 4 times marcie, so we can write:</u>
x = 4y + 3
Also,
<u>Sum of their ages is 58, so we can write:</u>
x + y = 58
or x = 58 - y
Now, we substitute this into 1st equation and solve for y first:
We know
x = 58 - y
so,
x = 58 - 11
x = 47
So,
Simon's Age = 47
Marcie's Age = 11
