Question

helppppppppppp!! Two times Owen’s age plus 4 times Charlotte’s age equals 42. Charlotte’s age is also 3 times Owen’s age. How old is Charlotte?

Answer 1

you have

Owen = W
Charlotte = C

2W +4C = 42
C = 3W

Answer 2

so you can substitute the C on first equation for 3W and you have

2W + 4(3W) = 42 now solve for W, then find what is C

Answer 3

Let x : Owen's age
and y: Charlotte's age

so 3x+4y=42
and y=3x

==> 3x+4*3x=42
==> 3x+12x =42
==> x=42/15
==> y= (3*42)/15

Answer 4

how'd you get 42

Answer 5

Two times Owen’s age plus 4 times Charlotte’s age equals 42

Answer 6

so did you get what is Charlotte's age ?

Answer 7

is it 6

Answer 8

wait no

Answer 9

4(3) is 12, then what do you do

Answer 10

no, lets solve the problem,

2W + 12W = 42
14W = 42
2 = 3

so, Owen's age is 3 years old now you know that

Charlotte is 3 times Owens age so what is Charlottes age

Answer 11

I meant W = 3

Answer 12

its wrong it was 9

Answer 13

what is Charlottes age ?

Answer 14

Answer 15

since Owen's age is 3
Charlotte's age is 3 times Owen
then Charlotte's age is 3 x 3 = 9
