A.
Let x = age of Samantha.
Then x - 2 = age of Emily,
and x + 2 = age of Lauren.
b.
x - 2 + x + x + 2 = 42
c.
x - 2 + x + x + 2 = 42
3x = 42
x = 14
x - 2 = 14 - 2 = 12
x + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16
The ages of the sisters are 12, 14, 16.
It's D because 140÷3.50 is 40

Well, first, you need to know what you want to 'do' to it.
You want to find the description of what 'x' has to be in order to
make that inequality a true statement. Here's one way to do it:
4/5 x > 14
Multiply each side by 5 : 4 x > 70
Divide each side by 4 : x > 17.5 .
That's it. As long as 'x' is more than 17.5 ,
the original inequality is true.
