Question

Ron is five years older than twice his cousin Pats age. The sum of their ages is less than 35.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Ron is five years older than twice his cousin's age. Lets assume that Pat's age is 'x' years.

So Ron's age is $2\times x+5=2x+5$

The question says:

$x+2x+5$

$3x+5$

$3x$

$3x$

$x$

Pat's age $(x)$ should be less than 10. Therefore, the greatest age (in integer) that Pat can be is 9 years.
