Answer: x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to add 4 on both sides of the equation to combine like terms:

3х – 4 (+4) = 8 (+4) + 2х

3x = 12 + 2x

Now we subtract 2x on both sides of the equation, which leaves x by itself:

3x (-2x) = 12 + 2x (-2x)

x = 12

The ages of four sisters are consecutive even integers. Two times the age of the youngest sister exceeds the oldest sister's age

S_A_V [24]

Alright, lets get started.

The ages of all four sisters will be = x, x+2, x+4, x+6

As per given in question, two times of youngest sister age exceeds the oldest sister age by 30 means

$2x - 30 = (x+6)$

Simplifying the equation

$2x - (x+6) = 30$

$2x - x - 6 = 30$

$x = 36$

So this is the age of youngest sister.

So, age of oldest sister will be $x + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42$

Hene the age of oldest sister is 42 years. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
