Math word problem help

Question

Gabriella is x years old. Her sister, Felicia is six years older than she is. Their mother is twice as old as Felicia. Their Aunt, Tanya, is x years older than their mother. Write and simplify an expression that represents Tanya's age in years.

 

I am the Parent and trying to help my son.

Answer 1

OK.

 

Tanya = Mother + x

Mother = 2 Felicia

Felicia = 6 + x (because Gabriella's age is x)

 

So Tanya's age is 2 (6 + x) + x, or 12 + 3x.

 

If we knew Gabriella's age we'd know all of them, right? LOL
