your brother jack will be 2 years from being twice as old as your sister jen. the sum of jacks age and three times jens age is 66. how old is jem?

13.6

3÷4

27.75

13.5

To find Jen's age, let's first assign variables to the given information:

Let J = Jen's age.
Let J + 2 = Jack's age in 2 years.

From the first statement, "Your brother Jack will be 2 years from being twice as old as your sister Jen":

(J + 2) = 2(J)

Expanding the equation:

J + 2 = 2J

Rearranging the equation:

2J - J = 2

J = 2

Therefore, Jen is 2 years old.

Now, let's find Jack's age:

(Jack's age) + 3(Jen's age) = 66

Substituting the values:

(J + 2) + 3(2) = 66

J + 2 + 6 = 66

J + 8 = 66

J = 66 - 8

J = 58

Therefore, Jack's age is 58 years old.
