Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let "Hannah" = h, and her sister = s

h = 2s

h +  s ≤ 18

Plug in 2s for h in the second equation.

(2s) + s ≤ 18

Simplify

2s + s ≤ 18

3s ≤ 18

Isolate the variable (s). Divide 3 from both sides

(3s)/3 ≤ (18)/3

s ≤ 18/3

s ≤ 6

2) The oldest Hannah's sister can be is 6 years

Answer:

12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2x+x=18

2) Now solve 2x+x=18

Add alike terms

3x=18

Now divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 and 18/3)

x=6

So Hannah is 6 years old. Her sister must be 12.
