A) How old is Jade's mother?
Answered by Reiny
mom ---- x
dad ------ x+11
Just translate "The sum of her parents age is the square of Jade's age " into math

x + x+11 = 9^2

solve for x

nope

x + x+11 = 9^2
2x + 11 = 81
2x = 70
x = 35

the mother is 35

check:
if the mother is 35, then dad is 46
the sum of their ages is 81 which is 9^2

answer of 35 is correct
