Write an equation that represents the situation, explain any variable used

Solve the equation

Answer: Kim's sister is 12 y/o and Kim is 24 y/o

Step-by-step explanation: So, k2. When you add Kim's age to her sister age you get 36.

Because Kim is twice the age of her sister k2. And because it said 'add' then we put a + sign. k2 + s = 36. Now let's solve it.

k2 + k = 36 < Given

3k = 36 < Combine like terms

k = 12 < Divide both sides by 3

We know Kim's sister is 12 y/o but what about Kim herself? Earlier we assigned Kim to k2. Substitute 12 for k and you get 12 (2) = 24

Kim's sister is 12 y/o and Kim is 24 y/o
