Answer:

John is 31

Ella is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sister's age be x, then John's age is (x + 6). So from sentence 2,

(3x) - 2(x + 6) = 13

3x - 2x - 12 = 13

x = 13 + 12 = 25

and x + 6 = 31

Justify Reasoning Determine whether 3x + 12 + x is equivalent to 4(3 + x). Use properties of operations to justify your answer.

Orlov [11]

For 3x + 12 + x, do like terms:
4x + 12
For 4(3 + x), multiply
12 + 4x
They are both the same, just written in different ways. One is adding like terms and the other is multiplying with parentheses. Even though it may be switched around, it is still the same.

Hope this helps :)
