Its 40ft...... can u thank my paige
Let
x------> Cathy's<span> ages
</span>y------> Tony's ages
we know that
x+y=65-----> x=65-y-----> equation 1
y-8=(2/5)*(x-8)-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
y-8=(2/5)*(65-y-8)---> y-8=22.8-0.4y----> y+0.4y=22.8+8
1.4y=30.8-----> y=22
x=65-y-----> x=65-22----> x=43
the answer is
Cathy's ages is 43 years
Tony's ages is 22 years
