Make 2 equations given the information.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Kim's sister is five years older than three times Kim's age\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Kim's sister's age = y
\n" ); document.write( "Kim's age = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "five years older than three times kim's age is equivalent to 5 plus 3 times x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of their ages is 13
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=13\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "plug in the first equation to the second.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=13\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B%283x%2B5%29=13\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B5=13\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Kims age is currently 2. In 7 years her age will be 9.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer is 9.\r
