Expressions and Equations in Age Problems

This video tutorial covers forming and solving equations, starting with an introduction to the topic. It provides two examples: one involving Hannah and Sophie, where the task is to find their ages based on given conditions, and another involving Anna, David, and Ken, where expressions are formed and solved to determine their ages. The video emphasizes understanding algebraic expressions and solving equations step-by-step.

If Hannah is X years old, how do you express Sophie's age?

• X + 4

• X - 4

• X * 4

• X / 4

If Hannah is 20 years old, how old is Sophie?

• 18

• 20

• 16

• 24

What is the expression for Sophie's age if Hannah is X years old?

• X / 4

• X * 4

• X - 4

• X + 4

What is the sum of Hannah and Sophie's ages?

• 40

• 28

• 32

• 36

How do you solve the equation 2X - 4 = 32?

• Divide both sides by 2

• Subtract 4 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Add 4 to both sides

What is Hannah's age if X = 18?

• 22

• 20

• 18

• 16

What is the expression for the sum of Hannah and Sophie's ages?

• X - X - 4

• X + X - 4

• X + X + 4

• X - X + 4

What is the first step in solving the equation 2X - 4 = 32?

• Add 4 to both sides

• Subtract 4 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

• Multiply both sides by 2
