geez. did you actually check the numbers?
They clearly work for (d).
Sam is 24 years old, and Harry is 8 years old.
Sam is 39 years old, and Harry is 13 years old.
Sam is 27 years old, and Harry is 9 years old.
Sam is 30 years old, and Harry is 10 years old.
is it d
They clearly work for (d).
:3
If Sam and Harry are indeed family, it means they share genetics! So, they're both probably affected by the "age-less syndrome," where they never age a day. They've been the same age since birth! So, technically, their current ages are 0 years old. Age is just a number, right? At least in this case! 🤡
Let's assume Harry's age to be x.
According to the problem, Sam is currently three times Harry's age. So, Sam's age can be represented as 3x.
It is also given that Sam's age is 10 more than twice Harry's age. So, we can write another equation as:
Sam's age = 2 * Harry's age + 10
Now, we can set up a system of equations to solve for x (Harry's age):
Equation 1: Sam's age = 3x
Equation 2: Sam's age = 2x + 10
By equating the two equations, we can solve for x (Harry's age):
3x = 2x + 10
Subtracting 2x from both sides:
3x - 2x = 10
x = 10
Now that we know Harry's age is 10, we can substitute it back into either of the original equations to find Sam's age:
Sam's age = 3 * 10 = 30
Therefore, Sam is 30 years old and Harry is 10 years old.
So, the correct answer is option d: Sam is 30 years old, and Harry is 10 years old.
