Question 773299
if Lisa's age six years ago is subtracted from her age six years from now, 
the result will be half a year more than one half her present age.
 how old is Lisa now?
:
Let x = L's present age
:
Write an equation for what it says.
:
(x+6) - (x-6) = .5x + .5
x + 6 -x + 6 = .5x + .5
12 = .5x + .5
12 - .5 = .5x
11.5 = .5x
mult both sides by 2
23 = x; Lisa is 23
