Project 4: Elimination Method
Puzzle: I am four times older than my daughter. In five years, I will be three times older than her. How old am I and how old is she?
Equations:
4D= M
3(D+5) = M or 3D + 15 = M
We can set up a system of equations to solve for these unknowns.
4D - M = 0
3D - M = 15
Read below how you can solve a system of equations using the elimiation method. Once you understand it, you can come back to this problem and find our ages :)
Project 4: Variables 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', and 'f' have been initialized as the coefficients shown in the system of equations above.
Task: initialize the values of 'x' and 'y' that represent the solution to the system of equations.
