beth would be four years old

Answer 2

How to determine old how is Beth?​

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Beth is 6 years younger than twice her brother's age

This means that

y = 2x - 6

Where

x = her brother

y = Beth

Given that

Her brother is 12 years old, we have

y = 2 * 12 - 6

Evaluate

y = 18

Hence, Beth is 18 years old
