Answer:
Simon's Age = 47
Marcie's Age = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The question is to find Simon's age and Marcie's age.</em>
<em />
Let Simon's age be x and Marcie's age be y
<u>Simon is 3 years more than 4 times marcie, so we can write:</u>
x = 4y + 3
Also,
<u>Sum of their ages is 58, so we can write:</u>
x + y = 58
or x = 58 - y
Now, we substitute this into 1st equation and solve for y first:
We know
x = 58 - y
so,
x = 58 - 11
x = 47
So,
Simon's Age = 47
Marcie's Age = 11
The dashed line is because the sign is greater than to be a solid line it has to be equal to or greater than and to the shading means any point on there works for the equation easiest way to test where you should shade is by plugging into the equation the point (0,0)
