Answer 2

V = k +5

Explanation:

Given : Venla is 5 years older than her cousin Kora.

To Find: Write an equation for the age of Venla, v, when Kora is k years old.

Solution:

Let the age of Kora bek

We are given that Venla is 5 years older than her cousin Kora.

So, Velna's Age V = k +5

Now if Kora is 13 years old
