Step-by-step explanation:
hello :
the system is : x+ y =4 ...(*)
2x - y = -1...(**)
add(*) and (**) : 3x=3 so : x=1
put this value into (*) : 1+y=4 so : y=3
one solution : (1 , 3)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
youngest 17
middle 19
oldest 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Three sisters have ages that are consecutive odd integers
youngest = x
middle = x + 2
oldest = x + 4
--------------------
The sum of the age of the youngest
x
and three times the age of the oldest
+ 3(x + 4)
is five less than five times the middle sister’s age
= 5(x + 2) - 5
-----------------------
x + 3(x + 4) = 5(x + 2) - 5
Distribute
x + 3x + 12 = 5x + 10 - 5
Combine like terms
4x + 12 = 5x - 5
Subtract 4x from both sides
12 = x - 5
Add 5 to both sides
17 = x
youngest x = 17
middle x + 2 = 19
oldest x + 4 = 21
