Question

Savannah is 24 years older than Ryan, while Sebastian is 5 times as old as Ryan. If Savannah and Sebastian are twins, which equation may be used to determine the age of all three people?
a. 8x = 24
b. 24+2x = 5x
c. 24+5x = x
d. 24+x = 5x

Answer 1

Answer:

Kim is 24 years older than Tom Kim and Tom are twins. These two statements are not compatible, unless the mother of Kim and Tom was in labor for 24 years LOL

Second statement

Savannah and Sebastian are the same age (twins)

X being Ryan's age the correct answer is 24+x = 5x

D is the correct answer

To solve 24+x= 5x

Subtract x from each side

24= 4x

Divide each side by 4

6= x

Savannah is 30 Sebastian is 30 Ryan is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Ryan's age. Savannah's age is represented by 24 + x, while Sebastian's age is represented by 5x. Since Savannah and Sebastian are the twins set their equal to each other. The answer is 24 + x = 5x.
