Answer 1

Corinne is 6 years younger than her brother. Which of the following expressions shows the sum of their ages if b represents Corinne's brother's age?

Answer 2

A. b-6
B. 2b-6
C.2(b-6)
D. b divided by 6

Answer 3

Corinne's Age = b - 6
Corrine's Brother's Age = b

We have to add these together, so we have (b - 6) + b. Do you know how to simplify this?

Answer 4

let me see

Answer 5

2b - 6 correct?

Answer 6

Take a look at this and see if it makes things easier.

Since Corinne's Brother's age is (b), and Corinne's age is (b - 6), we can add the 2 (b)'s together and then subtract 6

Yup!

Let's say b = 19

(b - 6) + b
(19 - 6) + 19
13 + 19
32

2b - 6
2*19 - 6
38 - 6
32
