Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentences 'Spencer is 32 years younger than Jennifer' can be modeled by x = y-32 (x representing spencer's age and y representing Jennifer's). The sentence '3 years ago, Jennifer's age was 3 times Spencer's age' can be modeled by the equation x-3 = 1/3(y-3). Solving the second equation for y gives you y = 3x-6. Substitute into the first equation to get x = (3x - 6) - 32. Solve for x, which represents Spencer's age, to get x = 17

30 + x + 3x = 50 where x is equal to 5 then ask us Determine the number of students who played cricket. then the value would be 3x + 9 = (3x5) + 9 = 24
