Answer:
Sophie is 2 and 8 months old
Jasmyn is 6 and 8 months old
Step-by-step explanation:
j = 4 + s
3j + 6s = 36
Solve for Sophie's age by substitution:
3(4 + s) + 6s = 36
12 + 3s + 6s = 36
12 + 9s = 36
9s = 24
s = 24/9 = 8/3 or 2 and 2/3
Sophie is 2 and 8 months old
Solve for Jasmyn's age:
j = 4 + s
j = 4 + 8/3
j = 12/3 + 8/3
j = 20/3 or 6 and 2/3
Jasmyn is 6 and 8 months old
I hope this helps!
