Question

4. Lucy is k years old. She has a sister who is three years younger than she is and

Answer 1

Answer:

4k - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy is k years old so we know k is an important part of this problem.
Sister 1 is 3 years younger, so she is k - 3 years old.
Sister 2 is 5 years less than twice Lucy's age therefore, she is 2k (twice Lucy's age) - 5 years old.
Now we have: k + (k - 3) + (2k - 5)
We can simplify like terms with the k's and get 4k. then we add (-3) and (-5) to get 4k - 8.

Hope this helps!
