kins age is twice that of her sister when you add kims age to her sisters you get 24 how old is each sister (a)write a equation
zimovet [89]

Kim's age is twice of that of her sister. We'll let k2 = Kim and k = Kim's sister.

So, k2. When you add Kim's age to her sister age you get 36.

Because Kim is twice the age of her sister k2. And because it said 'add' then we put a + sign. k2 + s = 36. Now let's solve it. 

k2 + k = 36 < Given

3k = 36 < Combine like terms

k = 12 < Divide both sides by 3

We know Kim's sister is 12 y/o but what about Kim herself? Earlier we assigned Kim to k2. Substitute 12 for k and you get 12(2) = 24

Kim's sister is 12 y/o and Kim is 24 y/o

Jaquan washes cars for his neighbors on the weekends. Jaquan uses the same amount of water for each car he washes. the point on
fiasKO [112]

The amount of water for washing x cars is y = 12x, and 72 gallons would be needed to wash 6 cars.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

The standard form of a linear equation is given as:

y = mx + b

Where m is the rate of change and b is the y intercept (initial value of y)

Let y represent the amount of water Jaquan uses to wash x cars, Using the point (2, 24) and (5, 60):

y - 24 = [(60 - 24)/(5- 2)](x - 2)

y = 12x

For 6 cars:

y = 12(6) = 72

The amount of water for washing x cars is y = 12x, and 72 gallons would be needed to wash 6 cars.
