Let us say that:
K = age of Kristen
B = age of Ben
From the problem, we make the equations:
eqtn 1: K + B = 32
eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)
Simplifying eqtn 2:
K – 4 = 2 B – 8
K = 2 B – 4
Plugging in this to eqtn 2:
(2 B – 4) + B = 32
3 B – 4 = 32
3 B = 36
B = 12
From eqtn 2:
K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20
So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.

Okay so you out them into the form of y=mx+b. since equation 2 is already like that you need to do it to equation 1. which is y=-4x+4. graph both equations. if it has a solution (1 point where the two lines meet) it is consistantly and independent. if they are parallel lines and the solution is 0 the system is inconsistent and the lines are dependent. if it's the same line they are consistent and dependent. the line is not the same since the y intercept is different. the slope is the same though which tells us its parallel. so the system has a solution of 0 and is inconsistent and the lines are independent.
