Today: x=19
y=67+19=86
9 years ago: x=19-9=10
y=86-9=77
The total age 9 years ago: x+y=10+77=87
Answer:
x = 10
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x - 6y = 2
x + 6y = 28
Add both equations
2x + x -6y + 6y = 2 + 28
3x = 30
Divide both sides by 3
x = 30/3
x = 10
Substitute 10 for x in either equations to get y
Using equation 2 , we have
x + 6y = 28
10 + 6y = 28
Subtract 10 from both sides
10 - 10 + 6y = 28 - 10
6y = 18
Divide both sides by by 6
y = 18/6
y = 3
Therefore
x = 10
y = 3

Answer:
width: 15 inches; length: 20 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation tells you the product of width (x) and length (x+5) is 300, so you're looking for factors of 300 that differ by 5.
300 = 1·300 = 2·150 = 3·100 = 4·75 = 5·60 = 6·50 = 10·30 = 12·25 = 15·20
The factors in the last pair on this list differ by 5, so we have ...
- width = 15 inches
- length = 20 inches
