Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Flopsy's age be represented by x.

Therefore, since Peter is one year older than four times Flopsy's age. Peter's age will be:

= (4 × x) + 1

= 4x + 1

We are further told that the sum of their ages is 19. This will be:

x + 4x + 1 = 19

5x + 1 = 19

5x = 19 - 1

5x = 18

x = 18/5

x = 3.6 years

Flopsy's age = 3.6 years

y = 4x + 1

= 4(3.6) + 1

= 14.4 + 1

= 15.4 years

Peter's age = 15.4 years
