Question

Leah's age is twice her cousin's age. If they add their ages together and get 36, how old are Leah and her cousin?

Answer 1

leah is 24 because 36 divide 2 equls 18 then x2

Answer 2

x=leahs cousins age

2x+x=36

add the x's together.

3x=36

you then divide 3x by 3 and 36 by three.

36/3=12

leah's cousin is 12.

36-12=24

leah is 24.

hope this helps xx
