Question

Your brother is 1/3 your age. Your sister is 6 years older than your bother. Your sister is 10. Write and solve an equation to find your age a/11056135/d3a3363f?utm_source=registration

Answer 1

Let your age be 'X'

Then the age of your brother will be

`(1)/(3) x`

The age of your sister is 10, but can also be written as an expression (since it is the age of your brother +6)

`(1)/(3) x + 6`

Now we get the following equation:

`(1)/(3) x + 6 = 10`

Subtract 6 from both sides

`(1)/(3) x = 4`

Multiply by 3

`x = 12`

Hence, the answer on your question (which is your age) is 12.
