The sum of Pete's and Sam's ages is 30. Five years ago, Pete was 3 times as old as Sam. How old is Sam? Let P = Pete's age, S = Sam's age, and P + S = 30. Which of the following equations would complete the system? P - 5 = 3S - 15 P - 5 = 3S P - 5 = 3S - 5

Consider this equation. |y + 6| = 2 what can be concluded of the equation? check all that apply. there will be one solution. there will be two solutions. the solution to –(y + 6) = 2 will be also be a solution to the given absolute value equation. the solution(s) will be the number(s) on the number line 2 units away from –6. the value of y must be positive since the variable is inside absolute value signs.
