Question

Five less than twice Garrett's age is one half of Mary's
age increased by 6. Which equation represents the
relationship between g, Garrett's age, and m, Mary's age?

Answer 1

Answer:

2g - 5 = 1/2(m) + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Garrett's age be g and Mary's m. Hint: "is" in these type of word problems will typically be the equation's "=" sign.

2g - 5 = 1/2(m) + 6
