<h3>Further Explanation </h3>One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one. Can be stated in the form:
ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable
Whereas the two-variable linear equation is a linear equation that has 2 variables and the exponent is one
Can be stated in the form:
x, y = variable
In the statement of the task:
- James is two years younger than twice his sister Kate’s Age can be stated in the equation: James (J) = 2K (Kate) - 2 ⇒equation 1
- Together their ages add up to 19. The equation: J + K = 19 .... 2 ---> J = 19 - K ⇒equation 2
So the solution is:
Equation 2 is entered into equation 1 so that it becomes:
19-K = 2K-2
21 = 3K
K = 7
because J + K = 19, then the value of J = 19-7 = 12

Answer:
(0, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are multiple ways of solving this however- since both equations are already in Y-Intercept form, we will use the "Equal Values Method"
First, since both equations are equal to Y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for X
To start, you must eliminate the fraction using a "fraction buster" multiply EVERYTHING by 4 then simplify.
Since we still have a fraction, we shall do it one more time. This time we multiply by 3
Now, solve how you normally would.
9x = 6x
-6x
3x = 0
X = 0
Now, since we know what X would equal in the solution, we are able to plug in X as 0 in one of our equations. We can choose the first one!
Now solve which would lead to y = -1
You have your solution as
(X,Y)
(0,-1)
Hope this helps!
