Rachael is 12 years older than Kayla. If the sum of their ages is 48, how old are they?

Rachel is 30 years old and Kayla is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

I got the answer like this:

What plus what equal 48. 24 + 24

So to get the answer I subtracted one from the first 24, and added one to the second 24.

I did this until they were 12 numbers away. This gave me their age.

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.

step-by-step explanation:

3 is greater then both of those numbers
