A kitten was given to a child as a birthday present when she was two years old. The cat lived a good life, but eventually became old and passed away. If the sum of the ages totaled 30, how old was the cat when it died?

Sagot :

Answer: 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cat's age when it died = x.

Therefore, the child's age is 2 + x because he/she got the cat when he/she was 2 years old.

We can set up an equation.

x + (2+x) = 30

2x + 2 = 30

2x = 28

Therefore, x = 14

Answer:

I would say 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the child was 2 years older from the start she would be 16 if the cat was 14. Adding them together makes it 30
