To solve for this, let's rewrite the question into an equation. As we do that, I'll write in parenthesis the translation of the question.

Yancy (Y) is (=) 2 years older than 3 times her younger sister's age (3S + 2). Her younger sister (S) is (=) 6 years old (6).

Let's rewrite only our parenthesis.

Y = 3S + 2
S = 6

Now that we have written our equation, let's solve.
Yancy's younger sister is 6, so plug 6 into the equation "3S + 2" for S.

3(6) + 2
3(6) means to multiply 3 by 6.
3(6) = 18
18 + 2 = 20

Yancy is 20 years old.

Your answer is C.) 20.

I hope this helps!

Verizon [17]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answer would be 3 miles.

____________________________________________________

Explanation and work:

To find the answer for this question, we would use the numbers we know that was provided in the question and use it to get us the answer.

The equation we would use in this type of question is the Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c²

When you draw out the different locations, it would end up looking like a triangle since you trying to find the diagonal line from the grocery store to the house. In the triangle, it would be the hypotenuse. I will put a picture below.

Lets start solving:

1.8 would be plugged into "a"

2.4 will be plugged into "b"

(1.8)² + (2.4)² = c²

 ↓          ↓        ↓

3.24  + 5.76 =  c²

          ↓

          9  = c²

              ↓

      √9 = √c²

             ↓

         3  = c

3 miles would be your FINAL answer.
