PLEASE DONT COPY THE ANSWER FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE PLEASE

1. Kim's age is twice that of her sister. When you add Kim's age to her sister's age, you get 36. How old is each sister?

(a) Write an equation that represents the situation. Explain any variable used.
(b) Solve the equation from Part (a). Show your work. State your solution as a complete sentence. Answer:

Answer 1

2x+x=36
Kim's Sister age

2x+x=36 Add "x and 2x"
3x=36 Divide both sides by 3
÷3 ÷3
x=12
Kim's sister is 12 years old
Soo....
Multiply that by two to get Kim's age

12•2=24 Kim is 24 years old.
