Carlos is five years older than twice his sister's age. Carlos is 13. Which equation and solution correctly identifies his siste

r's age?
2x - 5 = 13; x = 9
2x + 5 = 13; x = 4
2x - 5 = 13; x = 4
2x + 5 = 13; x = 9

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x=4 so

2x4=8

8+5=13

Carlos's sister is 4 years old, therefore it is B.

Solve: <br>x + y = 7<br>3x - 2y = 11<br><br>By using Substituting method.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

$\sf \longmapsto x + y = 7 \: \: - - - (i)$

$\sf \longmapsto 3x - 2y = 11 \: \: - - - (ii)$

<u>By first equation,</u>

$\sf \longmapsto x + y = 7$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 7 - y$

<u>Now, we can find the original value of y.</u>

$\sf \longmapsto 3x - 2y = 11$

$\sf \longmapsto 3(7 - y) - 2y = 11$

$\sf \longmapsto 21 - 3y - 2y = 11$

$\sf \longmapsto 21 - 5y = 11$

$\sf \longmapsto - 5y = 11 - 21$

$\sf \longmapsto - 5y = - 10$

$\sf \longmapsto y = \dfrac{ - 10}{ - 5}$

$\sf \longmapsto y = 2$

<u>Now, we can find the original value of x.</u>

$\sf \longmapsto x + y = 7$

$\sf \longmapsto x + 2 = 7$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 7 - 2$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 5$

Therefore, the values of x and y are 5 and 2 respectively.
