Laura's age is 9 years.
Solution:
Let x be the age of April.
Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age
<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>
Half of April's age = 
2 years more than half of April's age = 
Combined age of April and Laura = 23
⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23



To add the fractions make the denominators same.
Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get


Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

Do cross multiplication.




Aprils's age = 14 years
Laura's age = 
= 7 + 2
Laura's age = 9
Hence Laura's age is 9 years.

For this case, what you must do is to see in which scenario the speed of keeping constant during a certain time.
"A person biking on a trail at 1212 miles per hour for 2020 minutes"
We observe that the distance in this case is proportional to the time and the constant of proportionality is the speed.
In other words:
d = v * t
Answer:
the distance traveled is proportional to time in:
"A person biking on a trail at 1212 miles per hour for 2020 minutes"
How long does it take to go 3mph ?
