Question

When Ryan is 10, his brother Kyle is 17. When Ryan is 16, Kyle will be 23. When Ryan is 21, Kyle will be 28. Let r represent Ryan's age, and let k represent Kyle's age." Fill in the table, then enter and solve an equation expressing k in terms of r to find Kyle's age when Ryan is 51.

Answer 1

Kyle will be 58

Explanation:

So it seems to be that Ryan and Kyle have a 7 year age gap. We know this because of the first half of the question "When Ryan is 10, his brother Kyle is 17." And doing simple math, Kyle is seven years older than Ryan.

Now that we know that, If Ryan is 51, then we just have to add 7.

`51+7=58`

And there we go! At the end it says to fill in the table, but I don't see one provided. Hopefully what I said helps filling it out though. Good luck!

Answer 2

k=r+7

Explanation:

k=Kyle

r=Ryan

k=51+7

k=58

Kyle will be 58 years old when Ryan is 51 years old
