Question

Dina is x years old. In thirteen years, she will be twenty-four years old. Write it as a mathematical statement.

Answer 1

x + 13 = 24

Explanation:

Since Dina is x age, we can add in x in the formula. In 13 years, she will be 24, so the total is 24 years old.

So if Dina is x and in 13 years she will be 24, the equation would be x + 13 = 24.

Answer 2

x + 13 = 24.

Explanation:

Dina is currently x years old. Plus 13 years, she will be 24. So, we have x + 13 = 24.

x = 11.

Hope this helps!
