(a) write an equation that represents the situation. explain any variable used. (b) solve the equation from part (a). show your work. state your solution as a complete sentence.

Lenny is 3 times older then Max. When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24

Let the Lenny's age is L

Max's age is M

Lenny is 3 times older then Max

Lenny = 3 * Max

So L = 3M

When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24.

L - M = 24

Replace L with 3M

The equation  that represents the situation is

3M - M = 24

(b) Solve the equation

3M - M = 24

2M = 24 (Divide by 2)

M = 12

Max's age = 24

Lenny's age = 3 * 12 = 36

So Lenny's age is 36
