Answer 2

8

Dominique - 12

Brother- 12 / 6 * 4

12 / 6 is 2 then 2 * 4 is 8.

So her brother is 8 years old.

To prove this multiply 8 by 2 givig you 16. then 16 - 4 giving you 12. This means the answer is correct because dominique is supposed to be 4 years less than TWICE THE AGE OF HER BROTHER.
