Let the marks of Devi be x and Ali be y.
So, the equations:
2y = x <em>and</em> y + 16 = x
So,
2y = y + 16. [ because we know equals are equal to equals]
=> 2y - y = 16
=> y = 16
Check
Ali's marks are half of Devi's marks.
Devi's marks are 16 more than alis.
So, Devi's marks will be 16×2 = 32 and 32 is 16 greater than 16 (16+16=32).
1/6 is larger. Say you have a pizza, if you had 7 pieces of pizza, they would be smaller than 6 slices of pizza.

Answer:
Solution (-2, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 17 (1)
5x + 6y = 32 (2)
Using elimination method
Multiply (-2) to the equation (1)
-4x - 6y = -34
Now you have 2 new equations
-4x - 6y = -34
5x + 6y = 32
----------------------------Add
x = -2
Substitute x = -2 into 2x + 3y = 17
2(-2) + 3y = 17
- 4 + 3y = 17
3y = 21
y = 7
Solution (-2, 7)
