Question

Barry is 7 years older than Meisha. Which equation shows Barry’s age (b) in terms of Meisha’s age (m)?

Answer 1

b-m= 7

Explanation:

Let Barry's age is b and Meisha's age is m.

Barry is 7 years older than Meisha. Older means Barry's age is more than Meisha's age.

We can the equation as follows :

b = 7+m

or

Subtract m from both sides,

b-m= 7

Hence, the required equation is "b-m= 7".
