You have to divide to find a common number. 143/13=11

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
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
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
