Answer 2

thanks

Answer 3

So Amy isn't always twice Jill's age, she is only 6 years older right

Answer 4

hehe I see why I got this question wrong now

Answer 5

when jill is 6, amy is 12.

when jill is 20, 14 years have passed => 12 + 14 = 26 = amy's age

Answer 6

Let \(J\) be Jill at age 6 and \(A\) be Amy, we are given two "equations;"

\(J = 2A\), so Amy is 12 when Jill is 6.

\(J+14 = ?\)
From \(J=2A\), we can see that \(J+14=2A+14\), So Amy's age is \(12+14=\boxed{26}\)

Answer 7

Not actually two equations, but you see what I mean, right?

Answer 8

yes :) Thanks ^_^
