Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Age of Cael

Jake - 2x

Cael - x

x + 2x = 36

3x = 36

x = 36/3

x = 12 - Age of Cael

2x = 2(12) = 24 - Age of Jake

Answer:

The age of Jake is 24 and the age of Cael is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Una, gawing equation yung question.

So yung given natin is 2x (represents Jake's age), x (represents Cael's age), and 36(combined age nila). The x represents the age of Jake and Cael, in which hindi pa natin alam kung ano yun.

The equation will go as:

2x+x=36 dahil 'pag inadd age nila magiging 36.

Solve for x mo nalang.

3x=36 dahil inadd mo 2x and x.

3x/3=36/3 divide mo both sides by 3.

x=12 substitute mo lang yung value ng x.

So Jake's age is 2(12) which is 24. And Cael's age is 12.

Ito yung solution, sa taas yung explanation:

2x+x=36

3x=36

3x/3=36/3

x=12

2x-age ni Josh, substitute the value of x.

2(12)=24 which is age ni Josh.

x=12 so 12 yung age ni Cael.

Pag inadd 24+12=36
