The age of two sisters can be represented as consecutive even integers. If the younger sister's age is x+5, represent the age of the elder sister.

Answer 1

If the age of two sisters can be represented as consecutive even integers then:

1st/Younger Sister = y

2nd/Older Sister =y+2

If the age of the younger sister is x+5 then we simply plug it into y:

1st/Younger sister = (x+5)

2nd/Older sister = (x+5)+2 = x+7

Therefore, the age of eldest sister can be represented as x+7

Answer 2

The two sisters are ages y and y+2, where y is divisible by 2. If the younger sister's age is y=x+5, then the older sister's age is y+2 = (x+5)+2 = x+7. Examples are x+5=10 and x+7=12, consecutive even integers.
