Jessica is 5 years older than her sister Jenna. Jenna tells her sister that in 5 years, she will be as old as Jessica was 5 years ago. If Jenna’s age is x, which equation represents the situation? How many solutions does the equation have?

equations 1,3,4 and 5 stated has solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, (x + 5) + 5 = (x + 5) + 5

The equations that represent the situation are:

1. x + 5 = (5 − x) − 5 :which has one solution

2. x + 5 = (x + 5) − 5 : many solutions

3. x + 5 = (x + 5) − 5: no solution

4. x + 5 = (5 − x) − 5 : many solutions

5. (x + 5) + 5 = (x + 5) + 5: many solutions

Equation 2 has no solution. While the other equations have one and more than one solutions.
