Answer:

We find twice Jessica’s age and then subtract 6 since she is 6 years younger than that.

Answer:

B. (8*2) -6

Explanation:

Since Jessica is 8, and Kayla is 6 years younger than twice (doubled) Jessica's age, this means that Kayla is 6 years younger than 16. Therefore the equation would be (8*2)-6.
