Question 928582: The Day garden has 24 students in its 3-and 4-year old program. There are twice as many 4-yr olds as there are 3-year olds. How many of each age are there? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number of 3 year olds
y = number of 4 year olds
---
x + y = 24
y = 2x
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 24
2x - y = 0
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

---
solution:
x = number of 3 year olds = 8
y = number of 4 year olds = 16
