You can put this solution on YOUR website! x and z, their ages. , and exactly as described: , but this is a bad way to state a difference.
z-2x=2.
x=44-z.
, which makes no sense.
Maybe you wanted to describe in a way to mean, , and multiplying this equation by negative 1 gives .
x+z=44,
x=44-z. years, Zane's age.
Elliot's age, years.
You might wish to approximate these to the nearest month.
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The sum of Elliot's age and twice Zane's age is 44. The difference of twice Elliot's age and Zane's age is -2. What is Elliot's age?
Elliott's age:
