Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45
Answer:
Total area:75
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle area=6×5=30
triangle area=(18×5)/2=45
total area: 30+45=75
Step 1: Add the two equations together to get just one equation.
2x + y + x - y = 5 + 1
Step 2: Simplify.
3x = 6
Step 3: Divide by 3 on both sides.
3x / 3 = 6 / 3
x = 2
Therefore, the answer is x=2
