Answer:
The age of Sue could be 7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Jenny is 8 years older than twice her cousin Sue's age.
The first equation will be :
J = 8 + 2S ---------(1)
The sum of their ages is less than 32.
The second equation will be :
J + S < 32 ----------------(2)
Now rearrange both equations :
8 + 2S + S < 32
3S < 32 - 8
3S < 24
S < 24/3
S < 8
S = 7
The age of Sue could be 7 years.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
they said less than 32 so if we did 7+14+8 = 29
however when we do 8 we get the equation 8+16+8=32 but we need the greatest age at the same time we need the answer to be less than 32 so 7 is the only answer the fits with the way this problem is worded
