Question

S+f=24 s=3f

I need this now

Answer 1

f=6 and s=18

Explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

s+f=24;s=3f

Rewrite equations:

s=3f;f+s=24

Step: Solves=3ffor s:

s=3f

Step: Substitute3fforsinf+s=24:

f+s=24

f+3f=24

4f=24(Simplify both sides of the equation)

4f

4

=

24

4

(Divide both sides by 4)

f=6

Step: Substitute6forfins=3f:

s=3f

s=(3)(6)

s=18(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

f=6 and s=18
