1.Let x be the age of his father and age the age of the boy.
(i) x=y/3 +1
(ii) x+5= (y+5)/2 -4
sub.(i) into (ii): y/3+1+5= (y+5)/2 -4
10=(y+5)/2 -y/3
10= (3y+15)/6 -(2y)/6
6(10)=3y-2y+15
y=45
SO now, his father's age is y+5=45+5=50
(2)Let x be the price of an apple and y be the price of an orange.
(i) 2x +3y=12
(ii) 4x +2y=16 =>2(2x+y) =16
2x+y=8
(a) 2x+3y=12
2x+y+y+y=12
8+2y =12
2y=4
y=2
SO the price of an orange is $2.
4x+2y=16
4x=12
x=3
SO the price of an apple is $3.
