2x + x = 36
Mehek (mehek14):
2x + x = 3x

well start with what you know. Make Mary=x. Now you can have marsha=2x (twice the age of mary). Then set x+2x=36 (because it is the combined age of both of them). Solve for x and that gives you the age of Mary. If you wanted to know Marsha's, just double it.

3x = 36 divide 36/3 @Caitlyn_Morgan
