Simon is 13 years old
Let x be Simon's age
Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)
Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)
distributing both sides gives
5x-20 = 3x + 6
subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
5x - 3x - 20 = 6
2x - 20 = 6
add 20 to both sides
2x = 6 + 20 = 26
divide both sides by 2
x = 
= 13

Answer:
yes very much so
Step-by-step explanation:
yes I don't know why but I am really and truly
First solve for one variable
(I chose bottom equation because it’s easier)
Get y alone: Y = 5x
Now that we have y we can plug y into the top equation
Plug in 5x for y: 2x + 5x = 7
Solve for x: 7x = 7
X = 1
Now plug in the x value into the bottom equation to solve for y
Y = 5(1)
Y= 5
So, x = 1 and y = 5
