Answer:

Samantha's age = 27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let Jack's age be = x

As Samantha is one year less than twice her brother Jack’s age.

  • So Samantha's age = 2x-1

As the sum of their ages is 41.

Thus, the equation become

x+2x-1 = 41

3x-1 = 41

3x = 42

Dividing both sides by 3

x = 14

It indicates that Jack's age = 14 years

Therefore,

Samantha's age = 2x-1 = 2(14)-1 = 27 years

Solve the simultaneous equations 8 x + 5 y = 28 4 x + 5 y = 16
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

x=3, y=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y=28

4x+5y=16

Subtract the second simultaneous equation from the first.

You are left with: 4x=12

12/4=3

x=3

Substitute this back into one of the equations.

8(3)+5y=28

8*3=24

28-24=4

4=5y

4/5=0.8

y=0.8
