Gina is six years older than twice her cousin noah's age. the sum of their ages is less than 36. what is the greatest age that noah could be?

Given: Gina is six years older than twice her cousin Noah's age

Let the age of Noah be x years.

then,

Gina age be years

Also, the sum of their ages is less than 36.

or

x+2x+6<36 or              [Combine like terms]

3x +6 <36                  

Subtract 6 from both sides of an equation:

3x+6-6<36-6  or

3x< 30

Divide both side by 3 we have;

x < 10

Therefore, the greatest age that Noah could be , 9 years old
