Question

Hannah and anthony are siblings who have ages that are consecutive odd integers. The sum of their ages is 92. Which equations could be used to find Hannnahs age h if she is the older sibling

Answer 1

Answer:

2h-2=92

h-2=92-h

Step-by-step explanation:

Hannah and Anthony's age are two consecutive odd numbers.

If Hannah's age (The older) has a value of h.

Then Anthony's age (the first odd number) i.e the younger one is h-2.

The sum of their ages is 92

h+h-2=92 .....(I)

2h-2=92

Also on rearrangement

h-2=92-h

These are the two equations that could be used to find Hannah's age
