Ok here’s the answer! I again had to crop out the first step. here it was to divide equation 1 by 3 and add that to equation 2. all you need do you show that step is to write equation 1: -3x+2y=8 and equation 2: (11y/3)=35/3
Answer:
Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write a word problem for the equation.

Let x represent the present age of Carlos.
Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.
Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)
Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2
40/100= 56/x
40x=100(56)
40x=5600
Divide both sides by 40 to get x alone.
X=140
1/a
The b^-3 in the denominator and numerator cancel out
