Step-by-step explanation:
(-6x +3y=9 )×4
( 10x+4y)×3
-24x +12y =36
30x+12y= -18
-24x+12y- (30x+12y)= 36-(-18)
-54x = 54
x= -1
by using 10x +4y = -6
apply x= -1
-10+4y= -6
4y= -6 +10
4y=4
y=1
so the answer is x=-1 and y= 1
Answer:
Jo's age = x = 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Jo's age = x
Jo's mother, Anne's age = 4x
In four years time, Anne will be three times as old as Jo.
Jo's age =3( x + 4)
Jo's mother, Anne's age = 4x + 4
How old is Jo?
Equate Jo's age and his mother's age
3(x + 4) = 4x + 4
3x + 12 = 4x + 4
3x - 4x = 4 - 12
-x = - 8
Divide both sides by -1
x = 8
Therefore,
Jo's age = x = 8 years
