Question

hannah and anthony are siblings who have ages that are consecutive odd integers. the sum of their ages is 92 . which equations could be used to find hannah's age,h, if she is the older sibling?

Answer 1

Let h = Hannah's age.

Hannah is older than her sibling, and their ages are consecutive odd integers. Therefore, h = an odd number and the sibling's age = h-2.

The sum of their ages is 92, therefore
h + (h-2) = 92
2h - 2 = 92

2h = 94
h = 47 years

Answer:
The equation to find Hannah's age is 2h - 2 = 92.
This yields Hannah's age as 47 years.
