What Jenny’s age if she is five years younger than twice Marks age write an algebraic expression

Answer 1

If we make Mark's age, M and Jenny's age, J, then the equation would read: 2M - 5 = J

Answer 2

Let's use the variable m to represent Marc's age.

Also recall that "twice" means to multiply by 2. Here "twice Marc's age " would be represented by: 2m

Since Jenny's age is "five years younger" than twice Marc;s age, we would subtract five.

Jenny's age will be represented by the following expression: 2m - 5
