Answer:

a=2(s-5)

a(your age): 20

Step-by-step explanation:

a stands for your age

s stands for sister

a=2(s-5)

1-substitute 15 for s a=2(15-5)

2- a=2(10)

the 15-5 stands for sisters age minus five which gives you brothers age, 10. You multiply it by two because your brother is half your age.

3-a=20

check your work:

because your brother is 10 and you are 20, he is half your age (10/20 can be simplified to 1/2)

Hope this helped, if you have any other questions please lmk!
