i don't get the shit my bro does in high school :D

This is what I got:

Dylan = 53
Ashley = 77
Kyle = 45
Jacob = 24
Shelby = 31

Lets Put it back in the equation:

1. In thirteen years, Dylan's age will be Sixty-Six less than three times the age of Shelby.

------ 53 + 13 = 66 <---- Equals <-----------
31 + 13 = 44 x 3 = 132 - 66 = 66 <----^

2. The sum of the ages of Jacob and Ashley is one hundred one.

77 + 24 = 101

3. Ashley is Thirty-Two years older then Kyle.

77 - 32 = 45 = Kyle's Age.

4. Jacob is Fifty-Three years younger than Ashley.

24 + 53 = 77 = Ashley's Age.

5. Dylan's age is nine less than two times the age of Shelby.

31 x 2 = 62 - 9 = 53 = Dylan's Age.

and to show my work like a good student.

okay, here's the equations:

Variables are obviously first initials.

1. d+13=3(s+13)-66
2. j+a=101
3. k+32=a
4. j=a-53
5. d=2s-9

a. Plug #4 into #2 to get a=77.
b. plug a=77 into #2 to get j=24
c. plug a=77 into #3 to get k=45.
d. plug #5 into #1 to get s=31.
e. plug s=31 into #1 to get d=53.

That's the correct work the teacher is looking for.

No offense GrinS, but how the hell did you come up with the answers? I feel like I'm looking at Stephen Hawking's work because I can't understand any of that three pages of work. lol. It took me literally 13 notebook lines to come up with it, but whatever floats your boat as long as you get it. Props to us.

But yeah, your teacher will be looking for actual equations and you defining your variables, and showing how you used substitutions. for exactly, when I say Plug #4 into #2 to get a=77, I mean:

a-53+a=101

2a=101+53

2a=154

a=77

etc....

Remember the best five rapers of all time are Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, dDylan, because he spits hot fire, mon!

Thats my form of algebra, cause I don't know what solutions to use, i just kinda remember 1/2 and free-hand the rest.

and those pieces of paper are small 6inch x 4inch press pad.

[crudemood]

there are alot of different solutions posted!

i loled and rep'd grinz for the insane jumble of numbers and scribbling that was his math work, just as mine always was in school=p
