Question

Anyone out there can solve this I will give 17 points!!!

Lauren is twice Kristy’s age. The sum of Lauren and Kristy’s ages is 51. Which equation represents the sum of their ages?
A K + K + 2 = 51 B K + 2K + 2 = 51 C 2K = 51 D K + 2K = 51

Answer 1

D K + 2K = 51

Explanation:

Lauren is twice Kristy's age so it would be 2K cause you want to multi[ly, and then you have to add Kristy's age in the equation because their ages added together is 51

Answer 2

D. K+2K=51

Explanation:

Since Lauren is 2 times Kristy's age, Lauren's age=2K

so, if the sum of the two is 51, then 2K+K=51

If you want to solve it, 2K+K=3K=51

51/3=K

17=K

34=L
