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

Solve x + 3y = 9<br> 3x – 3y = -13 (1 point)
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

(-1, 10/3)

x = -1

y = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a system, one of the methods you can use is <u>elimination</u>. To use elimination, you need <u>a variable to have the same coefficient in BOTH equations</u>. Since both equations have "3y", with the same coefficient (3), we can use this method.

We want to eliminate a variable by cancelling it out. Since positive 3y PLUS negative 3y is 0, the variable in eliminated. ADD each of the terms in the equations together.

.        x + 3y = 9

<u>+    3x – 3y = -13</u>

.     4x – 0y = -4           3y - 3y = 0        

.             4x = -4            Divide both sides by 4 to isolate 'x'

.               x = -1              Solved for the x-coordinate

Since we know one variable, 'x', we can easily find the other, 'y'. Substitute 'x' with -1 in any of the equations. Then, isolate 'x'.

x + 3y = 9

(-1) + 3y = 9

-1 + 1 + 3y = 9 + 1      Add 1 to both sides to cancel out left side.

3y = 9 + 1          Add on the right side (9 + 1 = 10)

3y = 10              Divide both sides by 3 to isolate 'y'

y = 10/3             Solved for the y-coordinate

Put the 'x' and 'y' coordinates together in an ordered pair, which you write as (x, y).

The solution to the system is (-1, 10/3).

For an equation 9-3x=21, the first step is
g100num [7]

Answer: A.Subtract 9 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer A: Subtract 9 from both sides

Explanation: You want to solve the x from this equation, then the first thing is to put the number that has no valiable x to the other sides, so in this equations, we want to move 9 to the right side, so we subtract 9 from both sides.
