You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = ana age now
y = kristine age now
---
x = y + 5
y + 10 = (x + 10) - (y + 10) + 24
---
x - y = 5
y + 10 = x + 10 - y - 10 + 24
---
x - y = 5
x - 2y = -14
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - y = 5
x - 2y = -14
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
