Question

Zach is 23 years old. Sax age is 3 years older than twice Maya's age. Let m represent Maya's age. Which equation can be used to solve Maya's age?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let Maya's age is m.

Sax age is 3 years older than twice Maya's age

Sax age = 2m +3

Zach age = 23 years

We need to find the equation that is used to solve Maya's age. ATQ,

2m + 3 = 23

If we solve,

2m = 23-3

2m = 20

m = 10

Hence, this is the required solution.
