Answer:
Because x-2y=6 is the same in both of them. 4x+8y=12 can be simplified to x-2y=6 if divided by 4
the answer of this equation is -5
Let Susan's present age be x
Now, after 7 years ( her age will become 7 +x then) she'll be 2 as old she was 3 years ago.
Her age 3 years ago must be x-3
Now according to question,
twice Her age 3 years ago = her age after 7 years
now,
2(x-3) = 7+x
2x-6 = 7+x
2x-x =7+6
x = 13
x = 13
Therefore, her age presenr age is 13 years.
