Step-by-step explanation:

2x = y - 10 and x + 7 = y.

By Substitution,

2x = (x + 7) - 10.

=> 2x = x - 3, x = -3.

Therefore y = (-3) + 7 = 4.

The pair of solutions are x = -3, y = 4.

Answer:

(-3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = y - 10 (y = x +7) so

2x = x +7 - 10

2x = x -3

x = -3

-3 + 7 = y

4 = y

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara. In 4 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralph's age now. Ralph's

IgorLugansk [536]

Let
R = Ralph's age
S = Sara's age

First statement is translated as:
S = 3R

Second statement is translated as:
S + 4 = 2(R + 4)

Use the first equation to be substituted into the second one in terms of R which is the one we are actually going to solve for Ralph's age.
Since S = 3R, then
3R + 4 = 2(R + 4)
3R + 4 = 2R + 8
3R - 2R = 8 - 4
R = 4 years old

Twice a number increased by 2 is zero

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Alright, so 2x+2=0 (with x being the number) is what I'm getting from this. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 2x=-2, and then divide by 2 to get x=-1
