Question

In 20 years Lillian will be three years older than twice her current age. Set up an equation that

can be used to solve for x, Lillian's current age.

Answer 1

ok so x is her currect age y is her age in 20 years

2x+6=y

x+20=y

that means that both sides are equal

2x+6=x+20

-6

2x=x+14

-x

x=14

so her currect age is 14 and lets plug in

14+20=34

her currect age is 14 and her age in 20 years is 34

Hope This Helps!!!
