Kelly is 6 years younger than her twin brothers bailey and larry. how old will kelly be when the sum of her brothers ages is 12 more than twice kelly’s?
Let x be the ages of the twin brothers, Bailey and Larry. With this representation, it may be deduced that Kelly's age is x-6. From the given scenario above, the equation that we can generate is, 2x = 2(x-6) + 12 The value of x from the equation is 0.5 which is quite unreasonable.
X=Bailey and Larry X-6=Kelly Equation: 2(x-6)= 2x+12 This would have more than one solution. When the equations are the same on both sides, you can plug in any number. 2,15,7,3,etc...
Have any questions? Comment below! Thanks and give a follow :)
