Answer:D
A is two years older than B, who is twice her age, and C is twice her age. What is B's age if the sum of A, B, and C's ages is 27?
A. 7 B. 8 C. 9 D. 10
Explanation: Assume C is x years old. Then B's age is equal to 2x years. A's age is equal to (2x + 2) years.27 = (2x + 2) + 2x + 2x + x,5 x 25 =x equals 5.As a result, B's age is 2x = 10 years.
