Question

The relationship between 

Cameron's

 age, x, and 

his

 older sister's age, y, is described by the equation, y=x+10.

Find Cameron's age and his sister's age by filling in the table.

Cameron's age, xCameron's sister's age, y131719

Answer 1

To find Cameron's sister's age using the relationship given by the equation \( y = x + 10 \), we can fill in the values of \( x \) (Cameron's age) and calculate \( y \) (his sister's age) for the specified ages.

Here's the table with the calculations:

| Cameron's age, \( x \) | Sister's age, \( y \) |
|-------------------------|-----------------------|
| 13 | \( 13 + 10 = 23 \) |
| 17 | \( 17 + 10 = 27 \) |
| 19 | \( 19 + 10 = 29 \) |

So the filled table will look like this:

| Cameron's age, \( x \) | Sister's age, \( y \) |
|-------------------------|-----------------------|
| 13 | 23 |
| 17 | 27 |
| 19 | 29 |

Cameron's ages are 13, 17, and 19. His sister's ages based on these are 23, 27, and 29, respectively.
