Question

Gabriella is three years younger than her sister, Amy. If

Gabriella is 5 years old, how old is Amy? Write an equation
to solve

Answer 1

Amy is 8 years old.

Explanation:

5 + 3 = 8

If Gabriella is three years younger then Amy then all you have to do is add 5 (Gabriella's age) plus 3 (how much older Amy is than Gabriella) and that is 8.

Answer 2

5+3 is Amy, so Amy is 8

Explanation:

So, lets say amy is a

and gabriella is g

WE know that g=5, because gabriella is 5 years old

And, Gabriells is younger than Amy, so we need to add to get Amy's age

So, 5 ( Gabriella's age ) + 3=Amy

So, 5+3= Amy

So Amy is 8
