Question

hannah and anthony are siblings who have ages that are consecutive odd integers. the sum of their ages is 92.which equations could be used to find hannah's age, h, if she is the older sibling?

Answer 1

2h-2=92

h-2=92-h

Explanation:

Hannah and Anthony's ages are two consecutive odd numbers.

If Hannah's age (The older) has a value of h. Then Anthony's age (the first odd number) i.e the younger one is h-2.

The sum of their ages is 92

h+h-2=92 .....

(I) 2h-2=92

Also on rearrangement (II) h-2=92-h

These are the two equations that could be used to find Hannah's age
