A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.
B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20
Add equations
x=5
Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15
Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers
Y>2 is the 1st one. x>-4 is the 3rd one. Write the inequality. 1. 3, 2. 3
Shobo's age = x years
His mother's age = 6 times of Shobo's age
= 6x years
Five years from now
________________
Shobo's age = ( x + 5 ) years
According to the problem given,
x + 5 = one by third of his mother's
present age
x + 5 = 6x / 3
x + 5 = 2x
5 = 2x - x
5 = x
Therefore ,
Shobo's present age = x = 5 years
His mother's age = 6x
= 6 × 5
= 30 years
