Question 1118983
-------------------------------------------------
Liza and Emily age is 38. If Liza is twice as the age of Emily, how old is Liza and Emily
--------------------------------------------------


L Liza
E Emily


The first sentence says L=38 and E=38.
The second clause is incorrect.



Did you really want to say this?
---
The sum of the ages of Liza and Emily is  38.  If Liza is twice the age of Emily, how old is each?

{{{system(L+E=38,L=2E)}}}
