Question 929424: Jason, Eric, and Kylie have a combined age of 38. Jason is 4 years older than kylie and eric is 2 years younger than kylie what is the age of each
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x Kylie's age
Jason + Eric +Kylie = 38
(x+4) + (x-2) + x = 38
3x = 36
x = 12, Kylie's age. Jason 16 and Eric is 10
And...checking
sum = 38
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = jason age now
y = eric age now
z = kylie age now
---
x + y + z = 38
x = z + 4
y = z - 2
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y + z = 38
x - z = 4
y - z = -2
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
