Use the information to write an equation with variables on both sides. Let x represent Kim’s age.

Bob is 4 years older than twice Kim’s age.

Paul is 1 year younger than 3 times Kim's age.

Bob and Paul are the same age.

Which equation can be used to determine Kim’s age, x, from the information about Bob and Paul?
4x + 2 = 3x + 1
4x + 2 = 3x + (–1)
2x + 4 = 3x + 1
2x + 4 = 3x + (–1)

Respuesta :

Hey! I hope this helps!

Answer:

2x + 4 = 3x+ (-1)

Option D)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x represent Kim's age

"Bob is 4 years older than twice Kim's age"

Thus, Bob's age =

4 + 2x years

"Paul is 1 year younger than 3 times Kim's age."

Thus. Paul's age is

(3x - 1) years

If Bob's age and Paul's age is equal, we can write:

2x + 4 = 3x + (-1)

Thus, the required expression is

2x + 4 = 3x + (-1)

Option D)

Option D!  2x + 4 = 3x + (-1)

The equation can be used to determine Kim’s age will be 2x + 4 = 3x + (–1). Then the correct option is D.

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Use the information to write an equation with variables on both sides. Let x represent Kim’s age.

Bob is 4 years older than twice Kim’s age. Then the age of the Bob will be in terms of x.

B = 2x + 4

Paul is 1 year younger than 3 times Kim's age. Then the age of the Paul will be in terms of x.

P = 3x – 1

Bob and Paul are the same age.

B = P

Put the value of B and P, then we have the equation will be

2x + 4 = 3x – 1

2x + 4 = 3x + (–1)

Then the correct option is D.
