Answer:

Ages of cats => a, a+4, 2a-3

Thus,

a + a + 4 + 2a - 3 = 21 \\  \\ 4a + 1 = 21 \\  \\ 4a = 20 \\  \\ a = 5

The a is 5.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

assuming only positive integers, the answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the smallest number that you can get by adding is:

  • start with 0
  • then add 1 = 1
  • add another 1 = 2
  • add another 1 = 3
  • add another 1 = 4
  • add another 1 = 5

but you can also multiply, and anything multiplied by 0 is 0:

  • start with 0
  • multiply by 2 = 0
  • multiply by 2 = 0
  • multiply by 2 = 0
  • multiply by 2 = 0
  • multiply by 2 = 0

The question does not say that we need to do any specific calculation, it only gives us 2 options and we can choose them as many times as we want.
