Question

In 20 years, Kayleen will be four times older than she is today. What is her current age?

Please answer it correctly​

Answer 1

Answer:

her age now x+20=4x 3x=20 x=6 2/3 in 20 years, she will be 26 2/3 years old

Answer 2

Answer = 6 yrs, or 6(2/3):

Solution:

Let x be Kayleen's current age:

Kayleen = x

It says in 20 years, she will be 4 times her current age. In terms of our variables, that means she is 4 lots of x.

Equation:

x+20yrs = 4x

Substract x from both terms:

x-x+20 = 4x-x:

+20=3x.

Now solve for x.

20=3x

Divide both sides by 3

x = 20/3

x = 6(2/3)

Ok have a good day!
