Mindy is 36 years old. Mindy's age is 3 years older than two times Jake's age. Let j represent Jake's age.

Which equation can be used to solve for Jake's age?

36 = j + 3

36 = 3j + 2

3(j+2)3(j+2)

36 = 2j + 3

Respuesta :

the last one 36=2j + 3 because 3 yrs older(+3) than 2 times jakes age(2*j or 2j) then you put the #'s and the =36 together

Yup! I just took the test and the answer is "36 = 2j + 3" hope this helps someone else!
