Answer: jackson is 12

explanation:
let the age be represented by x
jackson is 2 times older than shelly so
2x is jackson’s age and x is shelly’s age

since the sum of their ages is 18 then:
2x + x = 18

solve:
3x = 18 ➔ divide by 3 on both sides
x = 6

so now we know shelly is 6

jackson is 2 times older than her so:
2(6) = 12

Answer:

Jackson is 12 and Shelly is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know Jackson is two times older than Shelly, it only makes since for our answer to be 12.

to find this you can make two circles and add dashes in each until you reach 18, but add 2 to Jackson to each 1 you put for Shelly.

Only need A for number 1 and B for number 2
lisabon 2012 [21]
Well 1A is wrong as 13+4=17 and 11+7=18 and 2B is also wrong as 6 squared is 36 and 4 squared is 16,36+16=52 6+4=10 10 squared is 100 on (6+4) squared you would do the addition as there is BIDMAS brackets indices division multiplication addition and subtraction
