Question 820616: [ two years ago, jimmy was one-fourth as old as his uncle. two years from now, he will be one-third as old as his uncle. how old was jimmy's uncle when jimmy was born? ] Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x - 2 = 1/4(y - 2)
x + 2 = 1/3(y + 2)
--
put the system of linear equations into standard form:
---
4(x - 2) = y - 2
3(x + 2) = y + 2
---
4x - 8 = y - 2
3x + 6 = y + 2
---
standard form:
---
4x - y = 6
3x - y = -4
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

x= 10
y= 34
y - x = 24
