Answer 1

The age of triplets is 42 years old

Explanation:

The question in English is

The sum of the ages of twins and triplets is 150 years if the ages are exchanged the new sum is 120 years. What is the age of triplets?

Let

x -----> twins age

y ----> triplets age

we know that

2x+3y=150 ------> equation A

2y+3x=120 -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

The intersection point both graphs is the solution of the system

The solution is the point (12,42)

see the attached figure

therefore

The age of triplets is 42 years old
