Answer:
Kimi is 11 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
We can read 'twice Kimi's age' as Kimi's age times 2 and
'14 years younger' as minus 14.
Our equation is
2(Kimi's age)-14= Marcus' age
Since Marcus is 8:
2(Kimi's age)-14= 8
Now we manipulate the equation so that it equals Kimi's age. Remember that whatever we do to the right side, we also do to the left.
First we add 14 to both sides
2(Kimi's age)-14(+14)= 8(+14)
2(Kimi's age)= 22
Then we divide by 2
2(Kimi's age)/2= 22/2
Kimi's age=11
Usually we would us X to represent our unknown, Kimi's age, but I left it as Kimi's age so that it is easier to follow.
