Answer:
f=6 and s=18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your system by substitution.
s+f=24;s=3f
Rewrite equations:
s=3f;f+s=24
Step: Solves=3ffor s:
s=3f
Step: Substitute3fforsinf+s=24:
f+s=24
f+3f=24
4f=24(Simplify both sides of the equation)
4f
4
=
24
4
(Divide both sides by 4)
f=6
Step: Substitute6forfins=3f:
s=3f
s=(3)(6)
s=18(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
f=6 and s=18
