Answer:

Sally is 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Sally's age by x and Sam's by  y.

Then x = 3y and x + y = 84.

Substituting 3y for x in the second equation, we get:

3y + y = 84, or 4y = 84, or y = 21.  Since Sally is 3 times as old as Sam, we multiply 21 by 3:  Sally's age is 3(21 years) = 63 years

Crazy boy [7]

It takes 45 seconds. the easiest way to do these is to use a graphic calculator and replace the variables with x and y, for example, this equation would become -5x^2+30x, and if you don't have access to a graphing calculator, you can always use desmos online.
