Modeling with Systems of Linear Equations

Question 4 • (OC27) MATH COLL ALGEBRA-1200710-S1-Degele-VOL7006P

Nina is 10 years younger than Deepak. Deepak is 3 times as old as Nina. Which system of equations can be used to find d, Deepak's age, and n, Nina's age?

Answer
A
d = n + 10 d = 3n
B
d = n − 10 d = 3n
C
d = n + 10 n = 3d
D
d = n − 10 n = 3d

Explanation

Since Nina is 10 years younger than Deepak, Deepak’s age is Nina’s age plus 10: d = n + 10. Deepak is also 3 times Nina’s age, so d = 3n. Together, these equations are choice A.
