a + 1/2 = 13
2a = 13
13a = 2
1/2a = 13
The correct equation representing Justin's age would be:
2a = 13
The correct equation that represents Justin's age, a, is:
2a = 13.
To find the equation that represents Justin's age, we need to set up the relationship between Kendra and Justin's ages.
According to the given information, Kendra's age is half the age of Justin. Since Kendra is 13 years old, we can represent this relationship as:
Kendra's age = Justin's age / 2
To represent Justin's age, we can rewrite the equation as:
Justin's age = Kendra's age * 2
Substituting Kendra's age (13) into the equation, we get:
Justin's age = 13 * 2
Simplifying:
Justin's age = 26
Therefore, the equation that represents Justin's age is:
a = 26
None of the options provided match this equation.
