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

The answer is: 6x^2y

I assume this is a question from k12 so I guarantee the answer above is

correct.

4x^2y and 6x^2y are like terms because they both have the same variables which is x^2y
