Sarah's age is 6 years less than twice Aryan's age. Their combined age is 36 years. How old is Aryan?

she is 15. 15 plus 15 is 30 and that leaves u with 6

Aryan is 14 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let "A" represent Aryan's age, and "S" would represent Sarah's age, then we can make the following equations...

S = 2A - 6

S + A = 36

Now we sub in the value of S in terms of A and get...

S + A = 36

(2A - 6) + A = 36

2A - 6 + A = 36

3A = 36 + 6

3A = 42

A = 14

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
