Question

Charlie is 4 more than twice as old as Frank. Frank is 3 years younger than Bob,

If Bob is 9 years old, how old is Charlie?

Answer 1

Answer: he is 16

Explanation:

Let x = Frank's age

2x+4+ = Charlie's age

x+3+ = Bob's age

9 = Bob's age

x+3=9

x=6

2x+4=2⋅6+4

2x+4=12+4

2x+4=16

Charlie is 16

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

x + 3= 9

x = 6

2x + 4= 2*6 + 4

2x + 4 = 12 + 4

2x + 4 =16

Charlies 16
