Question

Benjamin's age is 6 years less than twice Lucas's age. If Benjamin is 12 years old, how old is Lucas? Choose the answer below that is a viable solution to this problem

Answer 1

We can express Benjamin's age with x, we can express Luca's age as y.

x-6=2y

So, if x=12

2y=6

y=3

Therfore, Lucas is 3 years old
