Let x = your age
x + x + 6 = 34
2x = 28
x = 14
A SCIENTIFIC CALCULATER COSTS R185 AND A SCHOOL needs to buy a calculator for each learner in grade:9.if the total cost to the school is 17760 how many learners are in grade 9
17760/185 = ?
James is 6 and his
17760\185
=96
To determine your age, we need to follow the given information step by step.
First, let's define your age as x.
Since your brother is 6 years older than you, his age can be represented as (x + 6).
Next, the combined age of you and your brother is half the age of your grandfather, which is given as 68 years.
So, the combined age can be written as (x + x + 6) = 2x + 6.
According to the given information, 2x + 6 is equal to half the age of your grandfather, which is 68 divided by 2 = 34.
Now, we can solve for x:
2x + 6 = 34
Subtracting 6 from both sides:
2x = 28
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 14
Therefore, you are 14 years old.
