Let x = Parent's age now  y = son's age now

Then, x-5 = parent's age five years ago

        y-5 = son's age five years ago

     So, x-5 = 5(y-5)

          Simplify to get x - 5y = -20

Parent's age 8 years from now = x+8

Son's age 8 years from now = y+8

    So, x+8 = 3(y+8)

           Simplifying, we have x - 3y = 16

We have the system of equations:  x - 5y = -20

                                                  x - 3y = 16

Subtract the equations to obtain -2y = -36

                                                  y = 18

                                                  x = 70

Parent is 70 years old and the son is 18 years old.

What is the solution to the system of equations below?<br> 5 x + 2y = -3<br> 3x + 6y = 6
Orlov [11]
Eqn (1)*3: 15x + 6y = -9 -> Eqn (3)
Eqn (3) - Eqn (2): 12x = -15
x = -5/4 = -1 1/4
Eqn (2): -15/4 + 6y = 6
6y = 9 3/4
y = 1 5/8

x = -1 1/4
y= 1 5/8
