Question

Three years ago, Sherman was twice as old as Clive. If Clive’s present age is c, which expression represents Sherman’s present age in terms of Clive’s age? 2c − 3 2c + 6 2(c − 3) 2c + 3

Answer 1

2(c-3)=s

because you have to subtract 3 years from sherman's age first, so you need the parentheses
