<h2>Systems of Equations Word Problems</h2>

To solve these questions, we can translate key words into operations:

  • <em>Difference</em> = subtract
  • <em>Twice</em> = double
  • <em>Less than</em> = subtract

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

  • Difference of Annie's age and twice Carl's age is 22
  • Annie's age is 13 less than 3 times Carl's age

There are two variables given two us: Annie's age and Carl's age.

  • Let Annie's age be equal to <em>x.</em>
  • Let Carl's age be equal to <em>y</em>.

Translate the given information into two equations:

  • Difference of Annie's age and twice Carl's age is 22
    ⇒ x-2y=22
  • Annie's age is 13 less than 3 times Carl's age
    ⇒ x=3y-13

Now, we can substitute the fist equation into the second one to solve for <em>y</em>:

(3y-13)-2y=22\\3y-13-2y=22\\y-13=22\\y=35

Now, substitute <em>y</em> back into the second equation to solve for <em>x</em>:

x=3y-13\\x=3(35)-13\\x=105-13\\x=92

<h2>Answer</h2>

Therefore, Grandma Annie is 92 years old.
