Tammy is 2 years older than twice the age of her brother. The sum of their ages is 17.
If x represents the age of her brother, which equation represents this situation?
2 x + 2 = 17
2( x + 2) = 17
x + 2( x + 2) = 17
x + (2 x + 2) = 17
If x represents the age of her brother, which equation represents this situation?
2 x + 2 = 17
2( x + 2) = 17
x + 2( x + 2) = 17
x + (2 x + 2) = 17
