Answer:

younger sibling = 29 years

older sibling = 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = younger sibling

y = older sibling

x + y = 64 (1)

The older sibling was born 6 years before their young sibling

x = y - 6 (2)

Substitute x = y - 6 into (1)

x + y = 64

y - 6 + y = 64

2y = 64 + 6

2y = 70

y = 70/2

y = 35 years

Substitute y = 35 into (2)

x = y - 6

x = 35 - 6

x = 29 years

(2/5,-2/5),(-7/8,-3/5)
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: (-19/80, -1/2)

Step By Step Explanation:

First you want to do 2/5 - 7/8. Once you get -19/40, you want to divide it by 2. After doing this step, you will get -19/80. Next, you want to do the same thing with the other one. -2/5 -3/5 or 2/5+3/5 except the answer will be negative. Now you get -1/2. Therefore, the answer is (-19/80, -1/2). Sorry if my explanation is trashy.
