The sum of the ages of Diego and Carissa is 67 years. 11 years ago, Diego's age was 2 times Carissa's age. How old is Diego now?

Question

Translate the given information into an equation using the variable x = current age of Diego. Your equation should contain 67, 2, and 11. Do not simplify your equation.

Answer 1

C+D = 67 so C = 67 - D

(D-11) = 2 (C-11)

call D x

x-11 = 2(67-x -11)

Answer 2

is x=41

Answer 3

well, it does not ask for x but

x - 11 = 134 - 2 x - 22

3 x = 123

x = 41

Answer 4

41
