A)
Let x = sister's age
<span>Kim's age is twice that of her sister
</span>so Kim's age = 2x
<span>Kim’s age + Sister’s age = 36
equation:
x + 2x = 36

b) solve the equation </span>x + 2x = 36

x + 2x = 36
3x = 36
x = 36 / 3
x = 12
Kim's age = 2x = 2(12) = 24

answer
Sister's age is 12 and Kim's age is 24.

Alright, let's interpret it, first.

The question is asking us to first find two percent of 23,000, then right an equation.

Alright, first, let's find two percent of 23,000. To find that we must do 0.02*23,000

I got 460

So we know that Mastertown's population is increasing by 460 people per year. All we have to do now is plug that into the equation.

Population (y)= 460* amount of years (x)

So our final equation is y = 460x
