Question

Yolanda's age is 5 years less than twice Marco's age. If Yolanda is 15 years old, how old is Marcus? Choose the answer below that is a viable solution to this problem. A. 10 B. 8 C. 5 D. 1

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of Marco's be "x" years

then according to question

Yolanda age will be "2x - 5"

Also in the question it is given that age Yolanda is 15 years.

then, 2x - 5 = 15

Adding 5 both sides of the equation, we will get

        2x = 20

Dividing both sides of the equality by 2, we get

         x = 10

therefore, Age of Marcus will be 10years

Option (A) is the correct option.
