Question

Lacquan is two less than four times Jane's age. Anautica is six more than three times Jane's age. If

Laquan and Anautica are the same age, how old is Jane?

Answer 1

Jane is 8.

Explanation:

Let L = Lacquan's age.

Let J = Jane's age.

Let A = Anautica's age.

L = 4J - 2

A = 3J + 6

Since L = A, then we equate the two equations above:

4J - 2 = 3J + 6

J = 8

Answer: Jane is 8.
