Her sister is 6
four years ago Lita was 8
and her sister was 2
2×4=8
L = S + 6
go back and find the age four year ago?
L = 4S
Thats: S + 6 = 4(S)
That means S = 2. keep in mind that was four years ago.
Add 4 to the (S)ister’s 2 and you get 6. Add six to that for Lita’s age and you get 12.
(im 11 years old i hope ive helped im on my mums account)
so, 4 years ago she was also 6 years older than her sister. so this is the model
4 YEARS AGO
L (lila) |_|_|_|_|
S (sis) |_|
since the difference is 6 yrs, then the 3 units must be 6 yrs.
3u= 6yrs
1u=6yrs divided by 3 = 2yrs
4u= 2yrs X 4 = 8yrs
8yrs= 4 years ago
now= 8yrs+4yrs
= 12 yrs
i’m 12 too… -.-
L=S+6
L-4=4(S-4)
L=?
Solution:
S=6
L=6+6=12
Answer: L=12
Unfortunately I can’t as was never any good at it!
ugh i wish i could help you,im only 12.
