kind regards Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) let x be my age, y is my sister's age, z is my brother's age
:
x + y + z = 32
:
x = 2y and z = x + 2
:
also z = 2y + 2 (substitute for x)
:
therefore we have
:
2y + y + (2y + 2) = 32
:
5y + 2 = 32
:
5y = 30
:
y = 6
:

I am 6 * 2 = 12 years old

:
2.1) variable is y
:
2.3) constant term is -6
