LAT, ANGELA R.

1. X + y = 165 x + y = 165
X - y = 29 97 - y = 165
Y = 165-97
X + y = 165 y = 68
+
X - y = 29
2x = 194
2 2
X = 97

2. 3 ( y-3) = x-3 - Three years ago, Rica was thrice as old as Dandy
X= 3y - 6

2 ( y+3) = x+3 - Three years hence

2y+6=x + 3

Substitute x

2y+6=3y-6+3
2y + 6 = 3y - 3
Y = 9 ( Danny’s age)

X=3(9)-6
X= 27 - 6
X = 21 ( Rica’s age)

3. X + 10 = 3
2x + 10 5
5 ( x + 10) = 3 ( 2 x + 10 )
5 x + 50 = 6 x + 30
50 : 30
-10 -10
40 : 20
20 is son’s age, Billy is now 40
