1. Alyssa is twice as old as Brittany, and Jazmin is 15 years older than Alyssa. If Jazmin is 45 years old, how old is Brittany?

Write two algebraic equations, let represent Alyssa’s age in years and represent Brittany’s age in years.

Answer:

Brittany is 15 years old

Explanation:

The way we get the answer is by getting the age of Alyssa 45-15=30 as, Jazmin is 15 years older than Alyssa and then we can see that Alyssa is twice as old as Brittany so we divide Alyssa's age by two. 30÷2=15 and we get Brittany's age which is 15 years old.
