Mrs. Foust wants to know
Aziza's age. She knows that Aziza is the middle child. Her sister, Capri, is 4 years older
than Aziza, and her sister, Portia, is 5 years younger than Aziza. The sum of their ages is 38. Let a represent Aziza's
age.

Which statements are true about this scenario? Check all that apply.

The expression that represents Capri's age is a + 4.

The expression that represents Portia's age is a -5.

The equation used to represent this scenario is a + a + 5 + 2 - 4 = 38.

Solving this equation will give Aziza's age.
