Question

9. Zay's age is twice his sister Taylor's age. If they add their ages together,

they get 27. How old are Zay and Taylor?*
A. Zay is 12; Taylor is 15
B. Zay is 18; Taylor is 9
C. Zay is 16; Taylor is 8
D. Zay is 9; Taylor is 18

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: it says that their combined age is 27 so that is what the equation must equal. It says that Zay is twice Taylor's age so lets say Taylor's age is X, Zay's age would be 2X. Combined it would be 3x. So the equation is

27= 3X

Now if you divide by 3 in both sides you should get 9. Now that's Taylor's age. Multiply by 2 and you get 18 AKA Zay's age.
