Step-by-step solution
4 stepsDefine the variables.
Let Kaddy's age be k.
Let Binta's age be b.Set up the equations based on the given information.
From "Binta is twice as old as Kaddy":
b = 2k (Equation 1)From "the sum of their age is 36":
b + k = 36 (Equation 2)Solve the system of equations.
Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2:
(2k) + k = 36
3k = 36Divide by 3 to find Kaddy's age:
k = 36 / 3
k = 12Find Binta's age.
Substitute Kaddy's age (k = 12) back into Equation 1:
b = 2 × 12
b = 24Kaddy's age is 12 years and Binta's age is 24 years.
