Question 924727: In 6 years, Sylvia will be 6/5 Hue's age. Four years ago, Sylvia was 10 years less than twice Hue's age. How old are Sylvia and Hue now? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = sylvia's age now
y = hue's age now
---
x + 6 = (6/5)y
x - 4 = 2(y - 4) - 10
---
x + 6 = (6/5)y
x - 4 = 2y - 8 - 10
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - 1.2y = 6
x - 2y = -14
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

solution:
x = sylvia's age now = 36
y = hue's age now = 25
