Question

Franky's age is 5 years less that 1/2 his mothers age. If Franky is 13 years old,write an equation to determine his mothers age

Answer 1

1/2x-5=13

Explanation:

Let x= Frankie’s mother’s age

Half his mother’s age= 1/2x

5 less than that=1/2x-5

We know that Frankie is 13 so that equation is equal to Frankie’s age, which is 13.
