Question

San is currently three times Harry's age. Sam's age is also 10 more than twice Harry's age. the following systems of equation models this scenario. x=3y, x=10+2y​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so, what do we need to do ?

just solve these equations and find Sam's age (and Harry's) ?

x = 3y

x = 10 + 2y

so, we simply use the first equation in the second :

3y = 10 + 2y

y = 10

x = 3y = 3×10 = 30

Sam is currently 30 years old, Harry is 10.
