Q. Name\newline \qquad \newlineDate\newline-\newlineDmit 33 Mid the Asses ment oontinued\newlineDivit is 44 years younger than twice his brother's age. Which expression coulc used to find Divit's age?\newlineA 4x2 4 x-2 \newlineB 2x4 2 x-4 \newlineC 42x 4-2 x \newlineD 24x 2-4 x
  1. Define Divit's age expression: Let's call Divit's brother's age xx. The problem says Divit is 44 years younger than twice his brother's age. So we write the expression for Divit's age as 2x42x - 4.
  2. Check options for matching expression: Now we check the options given to see which one matches our expression.\newlineOption A: 4x24x - 2 (This is not correct, it says Divit is 22 years younger than four times his brother's age.)\newlineOption B: 2x42x - 4 (This matches our expression, so it looks like the right answer.)\newlineOption C: 42x4 - 2x (This is not correct, it says Divit's age is 44 minus twice his brother's age, which doesn't make sense in this context.)\newlineOption D: 24x2 - 4x (This is not correct, it says Divit's age is 22 minus four times his brother's age, which is also not what we're looking for.)
