Problema Solution
Leon's age can be described as 4 less than 2 times his cousin's age. If his cousin's age is represented by the variable "m", write the algebraic expression representing Leon's age using "m".
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = Leon's age
m = his cousin's age
Leon's age can be described as 4 less than 2 times his cousin's age
2 times his cousin's age is: 2m
4 less than 2 times his cousin's age: 2m - 4
algebraic expression representing Leon's age will be
x = 2m - 4
