Step-by-step explanation:
In this exercise, we know two statements:
Statement 1: Eric is twice as tall as his little brother Kevin.
Statement 2: Kevin is also three feet shorter than Eric.
We also know that:
E=Eric’s height.
K= Kevin’s height.
Therefore, our statements become:
Statement 1: E is twice as K.
Statement 2: K is also three feet shorter than E.
Therefore, translating these statements into two equations we have:
Statement 1: E is twice as K.
Statement 2: K is also three feet shorter than E.
