Reiny
Katie's age --- x
Sylvie's age = (1/2)x - 5
(1/2)x - 5 = 11
solve for x
Sylvie's age = (1/2)x - 5
(1/2)x - 5 = 11
solve for x

5. Vincent and Kyle are cousins. The difference of three times Vincent’s age, v, and twice Kyle’s age, k,
is eleven. If Kyle’s age is twelve more than a third of Vincent’s age, write and solve a system of equations
to determine their ages.
