combined age of 44. Bowser is 6 years older than
Abby. Abby is 2 years younger than Chuckles, c.
Which expression could be used to find the age of
Chuckles?

Answer 1

Your equation option is possibly in here somewhere.

Explanation:

A = C - 2

B = A + 6 → A = B - 6

C - 2 = A = B - 6 → B = C + 4

44 = C + B + A

44 = C + (C + 4) + (C - 2)

44 = 3C + 2

42 = 3C

C = 7
