If 8 years are subtracted from the present age of Jessica and 3 is added to the remaining number, then Olivia’s age can be found. If Olivia is two years older than Daniel who is 7 years old, then what is Jessica’s present age?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Jessica is 14 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]o[/tex] equal Olivia's age, let [tex]j[/tex] equal Jessica's age, and let [tex]d[/tex] equal Daniel's age. With this lets write out what we know:

[tex]d = 7[/tex]

[tex]o = d + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9[/tex]

[tex]o = j - 8 + 3 = j - 5[/tex]

[tex]9 = j - 5[/tex]

[tex]j = 9 + 5 = 14[/tex]
