Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Amelia + Bernard + Cindy = 10w {the total of their ages is 10w}
2w + ? + ? = 10w {Amelia is 2w years old, Bernard and Cindy are the same}
? + ? = 8w {subtracted 2w from each side}
2? = 8w {added ? and ?}
? = 4w {divided each side by 2}
Cindy is 4w
If w = 4,
4w
= 4(4){substituted 4 in for w}
= 16 {multiplied}
If w = 4, then Cindy is 16.
