Answer:Robert's minimum age is 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent George's age.

Let y represent Edward's age.

Let z represent Robert's age.

George is twice as old as Edward. It means that

x = 2y

Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. It means that

z = y - 4

If the sum of the three ages is at least 56 years, it means that

x + y + z ≥ 56 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y and z = y - 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2y + y + y - 4 ≥ 56

4y - 4 ≥ 56

4y ≥ 56 + 4

y ≥ 60/4

y ≥ 15

z = y - 4 = 15 - 4

z ≥ 11

Which equation can be used to verify that 534 – 68 = 466?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

466 + 68

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily check a subtraction problem with an addition problem.

Calculate the sum of the subtracted and the difference. If the sum is equal to the minuend in the original subtraction problem, the answer is correct.

Minuend - Subtrahend = Difference

466 + 68 = 534

The statement '534 – 68 = 466' is correct.

Hope this helps.
