Question

Kim is 3 years more than two times Jordan’s age.

(a) Write an equation describing the relationship between Kim’s age and Jordan’s age. Make sure to identify what each variable stands for. (3 points)

Answer 1

Kim=k

Jordan=j

k= 2j+3

Two times Jordan's age, equals times two, three more, equals plus three

Kim's age=2j+3

Jordan's age=j

Difference of age= (2j+3)-j

Age altogether=(2j+3)+j
