Answer:
y= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=42. We know that x plus y equals 42.
x=2y . We also know that x equals twice y.
2y+y=42. Since we know that x=2y, we're going to replace x with 2y from the original equation, simplified would be 3y=42.
y=14. 3y=42 simplified is y=14, this is because we divided both sides by 3 (since 3 and 42 are both divisible by 3) (btw divisible by 3 simply means that it can be divided by 3)
x+14=42. Now that we know what y equals, let's replace y with 14 from the original equation.
x=28. Now that we know that x=28 and y=14, we know that y is always x/2.
When x=-8, we divide it by 2 and get, -4.
Not absolutely positive as this was all mental math, but hope this helps! :)
Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
5y-2z
1.plug in
5(8)-2(9)
2.solve
5(8)=45
3.solve
2(9)=18
4.subtract

Answer:
<u><em>The Father is currently 47 and the Son is 7</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let F and S be the present ages of Father and Son, respectively.
We are told that <u>(F-2) = 9(S-2)</u> [2 years ago, father age was nine times the son age]
We also learn that <u>(F+3) = 5(S+3)</u> [3 years later it will be 5 times only]
Take the first expression and isolate one of the variables (S or F). I'll isolate F:
(F-2) = 9(S-2)
F = 9S - 16
Now use this in the second expression:
(F+3) = 5(S+3)
((9S-16)+3) = 5(S+3)
9S-13 = 5S+15
4S = 28
S = 7
Since F = 9S-16,
F = 9*(7)-16
F = 47
<u><em>Father is 47 and Son is 7</em></u>
CHECK:
Was the father 9 times the age of his son 2 years ago?
Father would have been 45 and son 5. Yes, 9*5 = 45
In 3 years will he be 5 times older than his son? Yes, Father would be 50 and son would be 10. 5*(10) = 50
