Mitchel is half as old as Damon, and Damon is 3 years older than Tiffany. If x represents Tiffany’s age, what expression represents Mitchel’s age? Tiffany’s age = x Damon’s age = x 3 StartFraction x over 2 EndFraction 3 StartFraction x minus 3 over 2 EndFraction StartFraction x 3 over 2 EndFraction StartFraction x over 2 EndFraction minus 3
Tiffany's age is x, and Damon is 3 years older, so we can represent his age as x+3. Mitchel's age is half of Damon's age, so we can represent his age as (x+3)/2.
