Answer:
Betty is 27. Her son is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use b to represent Betty's age. We will use s to represent her son's age.
This year:
b = 3s
In 12 years' time:
b + 12 = 2(s + 12) - 3
b + 12 = 2s + 24 - 3
b + 12 = 2s + 21
b = 2s + 9
We know that b = 3s, so we can substitute this value into our equation.
3s = 2s + 9
s = 9
b = 3 x 9
b = 27

Answer:
y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate y:
-3x + 9y = -57
9y = -57 + 3x
y = (-57/9) + (3/9)x
Substitute for x:
y = (-57/9) + (3/9)(4)
y = (-57/9) + (12/9)
y = (-45/9)
y = -5
Yes, on the left side you are adding 3x+2 in one and 2+3x in the other. these add to the same number because addition is Commutative on the real numbers.
