Your uncle is 2 years older than 3 Times your age you are x years old x=2 write an expression to describe your uncles age you are 12 years old how old is your uncle.

This is for my homework I need help

Answer 1

Because you are 12 you put down

12

x can be anything so if you write

12x

You can later substitute it for 3. 12(3)

Your uncle is 2 years more

12x+2 is your equation
or
12(3) + 2

Answer 2

12 * 3 + 2

if your 12 and your uncle is 3 times your age then you do

12 times 3

that gives you 36

the + 2 which will equal 38
