Question

Jane is x years old, and her sister in 8 years older than her. Their combined age is 32. Set up an equation to represent the scenario above

Answer 1

Answer:

2x + 8 = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane's age = x

Her sister's age = x+8

combined age = 32

x + (x+8) = 32

x + x + 8 = 32

2x + 8 = 32
