Question 1061197
kinmberly is 8.
if she is twice as old as becky, then becky has to be 4.
their total age woudl be 12.


you can solve algebraically as follows:


let k = kimebrly's age.
let b = becky's age.


you have k = 2b.


since k = 8, the formula becomes 8 = 2b.
divide both sides of the formula by 4 to get 4 = b.
