Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is, x = x + 5,

And, the equation has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents Jenna's age in years,

Given,

Jessica is 5 years older than her sister Jenna,

⇒ The age of Jessica  = ( x + 5 ) years,

Now, the age of jenna after 5 years = x + 5,

And, the age of Jessica in 5 year ago = (x+5) - 5 = x

According to the question,

x = x + 5

Which is the required equation that represents the situation

0 = 5 ( False )

Thus, the equation has no solution.

Answer 2

It would be 5+x, 5 being the age difference
