Marissa and Kendra are 2 years apart in age. Their ages are two consecutive odd integers. Kendra is the younger two. If Marissa\'s age is added to twice Kendra\'s age, the result is 29. How old is each girl? endra is 13 years old while Marissa is 15

Solution

From the given data,

let Kendra\'s age is \'x\'years and Marissa\'s age is \'x+2\'years.

Marissa\'s age is added to twice Kendra\'s age, x+2+2(x) = 29

3x+2 = 29

3x=27

x=9

Therefore, Kendra\'s age is x=9years and

Marissa\'s age is x+2 = 9+2 = 11years.
