Answer by josgarithmetic(39620) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
c is carlo's age
d is daisy's age
c+3=3(d+3).
c-1=7(d-1), but the worded description might be ambiguous.
Organizing each equation into the same form,
c+3=3d+9
c-3d=9-3
c-3d=6
'
c-1=7d-7
c-7d=-7+1
c-7d=-7
'
The system of equations is
Use any method you know to solve the system. You could solve each equation for c and equate those expressions to solve for d; or you could subtract one equation from the other and solve for d. You could then solve for c knowing your value for d.
