- [Instructor] We are told Maria is older
-
than her brother Manny.
-
The table shows Manny's
age and Maria's age.
-
This table's right over here.
-
How can we find Maria's age
when Manny is 12 years old?
-
So essentially, when Manny
is 12, how old is Maria?
-
So pause this video.
-
Have a go at that before
we do it together.
-
Okay, so we see that
when Manny's 3 years old,
-
Maria is 8 years old,
-
or another way to think about it is
-
Maria is 5 years older than Manny.
-
You take Manny's age as an input.
-
Add 5 to it. You get Maria's age.
-
Let's see if that holds up,
-
and it should because if
someone's 5 years older,
-
people don't change.
-
They're going to continue
to be 5 years older
-
as they age together,
-
and we see that 6 plus 5 is 11.
-
9 plus 5 is 14,
-
so Maria's age when Manny is 12.
-
We're just going to add 5 to that.
-
12 plus 5 is 17 years old.
