Lenlen is 2years younger than her brother.
\n" ); document.write( "L = b - 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "three times lenlen's age is less than four times her brothers age diminished by twelve.
\n" ); document.write( "3L < 4b - 12
\n" ); document.write( "Replace L with (b-2)
\n" ); document.write( "3(b-2) < 4b - 12
\n" ); document.write( "3b - 6 < 4b - 12
\n" ); document.write( "3b - 4b < -12 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "-b < -6
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by -1, this reverses the inequality sign
\n" ); document.write( "b > 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "L = b - 2
\n" ); document.write( "L > 6 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "L > 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "find the least possible age of lenlen: 5 yrs old
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this. b = 7 (two more than L)
\n" ); document.write( "\"three times lenlen's age is less than four times her brothers age diminished by twelve\"
\n" ); document.write( "3(5) < 4(7) - 12
\n" ); document.write( "15 < 28 - 12
\n" ); document.write( "15 < 16; true! \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
