The ages of four sisters are consecutive even integers. Two times the age of the youngest sister exceeds the oldest sister's age

by 30 years. The equation 2x − (x + 6) = 30 models the age, x, of the youngest sister. What is the age of the oldest sister?

Answer:

42 years

Step-by-step explanation:

2x − (x + 6) = 30

x − 6 = 30

x = 36

Therefore,

<em>x + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42</em>

Alright, lets get started.

The ages of all four sisters will be = x, x+2, x+4, x+6

As per given in question, two times of youngest sister age exceeds the oldest sister age by 30 means

2x - 30 = (x+6)

Simplifying the equation

2x - (x+6) = 30

2x - x - 6 = 30

x = 36

So this is the age of youngest sister.

So, age of oldest sister will be x + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42

Hene the age of oldest sister is 42 years.   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

Since you know that the equation of straight line is y=Mx + c
Where m mean gradient , and c means intercept
We don’t know our intercept neither do we know our gradient
So we have to find these to get our equation
Therefore, to find m( gradient) from the table
We are going to use the formulae for gradient which is
M=y2-y1 / x2-x1
I.e from the table
M= 23-15 / 4-2
M=8/2
M=4
Therefore how gradient is 4
