Question

2. Kim is x years old. Jordan is 7 years older than Kim. Four times Jordan’s age is equal to 200.

(a) Write an equation that could be used to solve for Kim’s age, x.
(b) How old is Kim?
(c) How old is Jordan

what is x?

Answer 1

Kim is 43 years old, and Jordan (7 years older) is 50 years old.

Explanation:

Representation:

Kim's age is x

Jordan's is x + 7

Then 4(x + 7) = 200, and 4x + 28 = 200.

Simplifying, 4x = 172. Dividing both sides by 4 to isolate x, we get:

x = 172/4 = 43

Thus, Kim is 43 years old, and Jordan (7 years older) is 50 years old.

Answer 2

a:200/4= 50

50-7=43

b:43

c:50
