Andrea is 6 years younger than Tony. In two years, Tony will be three times as old as Andrea. Let a be Tony’s current age. Which of these linear equations can be used to find Andrea’s and Tony’s current ages?(1 point)
Responses
a+2=3(a−6+2)
a plus 2 equals 3 left parenthesis a minus 6 plus 2 right parenthesis
3(a+2)=a−6+2
3 left parenthesis a plus 2 right parenthesis equals a minus 6 plus 2
a+2=3(a+6+2)
a plus 2 equals 3 left parenthesis a plus 6 plus 2 right parenthesis
a=3(a+2)
a=3(a+2)
The correct linear equation that can be used to find Andrea's and Tony's current ages is:
3(a+2) = a-6+2
