Elles age is 18,which is 2 less than 2 times daises age. What is daises age?

Question

i have no clue how to do this problem 

 

Answer 1

Daisy: a person; let D = her age

daisies: the plural of the flower daisy

Daisy's: the possessive form of Daisy.

Elle: a girl, age L=18

Elle's: the possessive form of Elle

 

The problem states that L = 2D - 2 

Therefore 18 = 2D - 2.

 

This should be sufficient clue to solve for D.
