Question 1104264: How old is pamela if twice her age increased by 5 is 31?
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if you let x represent her age, then 2x + 5 = 31.
subtract 5 from both sides of this equation to get 2x = 26
divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get x = 13.
her age is 13.
2 times her age is 26
add 5 to that and you get 31.
solution is confirmed to be good.
