Question

Joesph is 14 years younger than twice joesephens age. Joseph is 32 years old. how old is josephene?

Answer 1

Josephene is 23 years old

Explanation:

First, you can assign the variables x and y to Joseph and Josephene, next you should write an equation. Since Joseph is 14 years younger than twice Josephene's age, you can write the equation x + 14 = 2y, if 32 is substituted in for x and the equation is simplified, you will end up with Josephene's age, 23.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

Joesphene is 23 years old, because: 2x=32+14=>2x=46=>x=23 .
