Algebra.Com's Answer #617753 by Edwin McCravy(20056)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given dat Y=6, Z=-7 \n" ); document.write( "my mum was (X+Y+Z+3)yrs wen she gave birth to me. \n" ); document.write( "Now she's (80-X+Y)yrs. \n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( "Since (X+Y+Z+3) = (X+6-7+3) = X+2,\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "your mum was X+2 years old when she gave birth to you.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Since (80-X+Y) = (80-X+6) = 86-X,\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "she's 86-X years old now. \r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Your present age is how much older she is now than then:\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "So your present age = (86-X)-(X+2) = 86-X-X-2 = 84-2X\r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "& my age is given. \n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( "No it isn't, you only said it is given, but you didn't give\r\n" ); document.write( "it, so it isn't given.
