Question

Sam and harry are family. Sam is currently five times harry's age. Sam's age is also 10 more than three times harry's age. The following system of equations models this scenario: x = 5y x = 10 + 3y what are their current ages? sam is 25 years old, and harry is 5 years old. Sam is 30 years old, and harry is 6 years old. Sam is 35 years old, and harry is 7 years old. Sam is 40 years old, and harry is 8 years old.

Answer 1

Sam is 25 years old, and Harry is 5 years old.

If we multiply the age of Harry (5) five times, it will give us 25:

5×5= 25

and if we multiply Harry's age three times and then add up ten, it will give us 25:

(5×3) +10 = 25

15 + 10 = 25

25 = 25

Answer 2

sam is 25 years old and harry is 5 years old
