Kims age was twice that of her sister. When you add Kim's age to her sisters age you, you get 36. How old is each sister?

1 answer:

3 0

Set kim's age to 2x. Set her sister's age to x. Now solve the equation:

2x+x=36
3x=36
x=12.

Remember, her sister's age was x, and x=12, so her sister is twelve. Kim's age is 12*2, so her age is 24.

Hello, please consider the following.

${2}^{x + 2 } = 9 \times( {2}^{x} ) - 2\\\\2^x \cdot 2^2=9\cdot 2^x-2\\\\(9-4)2^x = 2\\\\2^x=\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\text{We take the ln.}\\\\xln(2)=ln(2)-ln(5)\\\\x=\dfrac{ln(2)-ln(5)}{ln(2)}=-1.32193...$
