Question

Which equation represents this problem?

Carol's age is three more than two times Lindsay's age. Carol is 39 years old. How old is Lindsay?

Let l = Lindsay's age in years.


 



3l + 2 = 39


2l–3=39


3l–2=39


2l + 3 = 39

Answer 1

2l + 3 = 39

Explanation:

the equation is 3 + 2L = C, where L is Lindsay's age and C is Carol's age

3 + 2L = 39
