Problem: Ben’s age is four years less than three times that of his sister Amy. Half of Ben’s age increased by Amy’s age is 2 years more than twice Amy’s age. Find their ages.
Solution: Then 3n – 4 = Ben’s age Let n = Amy’s age Half of Ben’s age ½ (3n-4) Increased by + Amy’s age n is = two years 2 more than + twice Amy’s age 2n Equation: ½ (3n-4) + n = 2 + 2n
Equation: ½ (3n-4) + n = 2 + 2n 3/2n -2 + n = 2 + 2n Multiplication Property Symmetric Property • 3/2n + n- 2n = 2 + 2 • 1/2n = 4 Addition & Subtraction Property • n = 8 Multiplication Property • Amy is 8 years old Substitution 3n - 4 = 3(8) - 4 = 20 • Ben is 20 years old
