Question

2. Kim is x years old. Jordan is 7 years older than Kim. Four times Jordan’s age is equal to 200. (a) Write an equation that could be used to solve for Kim’s age, x. (b) How old is Kim? (c) How old is Jordan?

Answer 1

Let, the age of Kim = x
Then, Jordan's age = x + 7

It is given that, 4(x + 7) = 200

a) Equation would be: 4x + 28 = 200

b) Now, 4x = 200 - 28
x = 172/4
x = 43

So, Kim is 43 Years old.

c) Age of Jordan = x + 7
= 43 + 7 = 50

In short, Age of Jordan is 50 Years

Hope this helps!
