Question

maria's age is 3 years more than twice george's age.Which expression represents george's age in term of maria's?

Answer 1

m-3 = g

2

OR

(m-3) ÷ 2 = g

Explanation:

m = Maria

g = George

m = 2g + 3

We need g by itself

Since it is + 3 we can get rid it by doing -3 on both sides to end up with:

m-3=2g

To get rid of 2 we divide on both sides to end up with:

m-3 = g

2

OR

(m-3) ÷ 2 = g
