Question

Sally is 2 years older than three times her brother Jim's age. If Jim is 4 years old, how old is sally?

Answer 1

So basically Jim is 4.
Since Sally is older than three times her brother's age, multiply 4 by three to complete the three times her brother's age, and you get 12.
And she's 2 years older than that so Sally is 14.

Answer 2

If Jim is 4, then Sally must be:

(4X3) + 2 = 14 years old.
