Question 942860: Emily is x years old. Molly is y years old.
The sum of their ages is 60.
Molly is 6 years older than Emily.
Write down a pair of simultaneous equations and solve them to find x and y. Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = emily age
y = molly age
---
x + y = 60
y = x + 6
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 60
x - y = -6
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
