Let m and j be the current ages of Matthew and Jenny, respectively.
Now, Matthew is 3 times as old as Jenny, so the variables are in the following relation:

In 7 years, both of them will be 7 years older, i.e. their ages will be m+7 and j+7, and Matthew will be twice as old:

Now, remembering that m=3j, we can rewrite the second equation as

So, Jenny is 7 and Matthew is 21 (he's 3 times older).
In fact, in 7 years, they will be 14 and 28, and Matthew will be twice as old.
Hello!
Since we already see an equation that equals y (-2x-4), we can plug that equation into the first to solve for x.
x+4(-2x-4)=19
x-8x-16=19
-7x=35
x=-5
Now that we know the value of x, we will plug it into the second equation to solve for y.
y=-2(-5)-4
y=10=4
y=6
This gives us the answer below
The correct answer is A) (-5,6)
I hope this helps!
X=cubic root 2/27
Glad to help
Answer:
It is A' B'
Pls give me brainliest :)
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 12 1/4. how I got my answer.
Their are 4 quarters to a whole, so that means all I have to do is multiply 4×3=12, then add 1/4+12= 12 1/4.
I hope this helps!
