A father's age is 28 years old when Cindy's age is 2 years old.
A father's age is 36 years old when Cindy's age is 10 years old.
What is the father's age when Cindy is 18 years old?

A) Write an equation that relates Cindy's age to her father's age.

B) Determine if 42 is a solution to the equation. Show your work.

C) Explain the meaning of your answer in part B.

so dad=28 cindy=2 so 28-2=diffirance in age=26
A. dad-26=cindy cindy=dad-26 dad=cindy+26 so since cindy=18 dad=18+26=44
B. if dad =42=cindy+26 so 42=x+26 subtract 26 from both sides 16=x cindy =16 if dad =42
C. so the number of years apart they will be will always be 26 (until one of them dies)

The father's age when Cindy is 18 years old is 44, as derived from the equation F = C + 26. The equation shows a constant age difference of 26 years between them. The number 42 is not a solution since it corresponds to Cindy being 16, not 18.
