Sheldon is four years older than his brother Lee.Togethet the boys are at most 26 years old.the inequality c+(c+4) is less or equal 26 can be used to determine the ages of boys. what does (c+4) represent? If Lee is 5 years old how old is Sheldon? If Lee is 5years old what is the combine age of Sheldon and Lee? Can Lee be older than 11 years old?

Respuesta :

c+4 represents Sheldon's age

5+4=9 so Sheldon will be 9 when Lee is 5 

5+9=14 their combined age would be 14

No Lee must be 11 years old exactly to get to 26 because 11+(11+4)=11+15=26 so he must be exactly 11 years old he cannot be older
