Well if I did the right calculations... Kim is 24. The sister is age twelve! Hope I helped.

A. K+S=36

B. Well Simple Addition and Subtraction solves this easily. If you Add 12+12 it equals 24. It still needs to be larger so that Kim is twice as old as her little sister. So you Add another 12 which gives you 36. Or you can easily subtract 12 from it and that will also bring you to 24.

A)
Kim's age=k
Sister's age=s
k=2s
k+s=36
b)
k=2s
k+s=36
k=36-s
2s=36-s
3s=36
s=12
12*2=24
Kim is 24 and her sister is 12

Hope this helps :)

Melanie saves $20 every month in her savings account. She
OLga [1]

Let x represent the amount of months she has been saving for.

20x - 60 = 280

Solve for x.

20x - 60 = 280

~Add 60 to both sides

20x - 60 + 60 = 280 + 60

~Simplify

20x = 340

~Divide 20 to both sides

20x/20 = 340/20

~Simplify

x = 17

Therefore, Melanie has saved for 17 months.

Best of Luck!

What the error to this promblem
dimaraw [331]
The error to that problem is the person switched the x and y points, like in point A, it’s supposed to be (x,y) or (1,5). The person put the y in front of the x while writing the points.
