Kelly is x years old. Mike is 2 years older than twice Kelly's age. The sum of Kelly's and Mike's age is 26. How old are Kelly and Mike?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Kelly= x
\n" ); document.write( "Mike= 2x+2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+2x+2=26
\n" ); document.write( "3x+2=26
\n" ); document.write( "3x=24
\n" ); document.write( "x=8 <--- This is Kelly's age\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find Mikes age, you plug it in to the expression above.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2(8)+2
\n" ); document.write( "=16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So Kelly is 8 and Mike is 16.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helped!\r
