Answer:

2h-2=92

h-2=92-h

Explanation:

Hannah and Anthony's ages are two consecutive odd numbers.

If Hannah's age (The older) has a value of h. Then Anthony's age (the first odd number) i.e the younger one is h-2.

The sum of their ages is 92

h+h-2=92 .....

(I) 2h-2=92

Also on rearrangement (II) h-2=92-h

These are the two equations that could be used to find Hannah's age
