Answer:
Lori's age is 15 years old and Michelle's age is 5 years old now
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> Lori's age
y ----> Michelle's age
we know that
-----> equation A
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y
Find the value of x
therefore
Lori's age is 15 years old and Michelle's age is 5 years old now
Answer:
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y
Then the pair of equations
-3/x + 4/y = 11
1/x - 2/y = -5
Can be written as
-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)
u - 2v = -5......................................(2)
From (2)
u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)
Substituting (3) into (1)
-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11
-6v + 15 + 4v = 11
-6v + 4v = 11 - 15
-2v = -4
v = 4/2 = 2
Substituting this value of v in (3)
u = 2v - 5
u = 2(2) - 5
= 4 - 5
= -1
That is
u = -1, v = 2
Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have
1/x = -1
=> x = -1
And
1/y = 2
=> y = 1/2
Therefore
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Take to total number of people attending and subtract the number of adults. The remainder are the children
2,451 - 745 = 1,706
