Question

Justin is 2 years older than one third Marcella’s age. Aimee is 5 years younger than 2 times Justin’s age. Define a variable and write an expression to represent Justin’s age. Ten find Justin’s age and Aimee’s age if Marcella is 63 years old.

Answer 1

Explanation:

J = (1/3)M + 2 <=== ur expression would be : (1/3)M + 2

A = 2J - 5

if marcella is 63....

J = (1/3 * 63) + 2 A = 2J - 5

J = 63/3 + 2 A = 2(23) - 5

J = 21 + 2 A = 46 - 5

J = 23 <== justin's age A = 41 <=== Aimee's age
