Answer:
Alice is 33 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Alice is 3 more than twice Emma's age:
E = Emma
A = Alice
A = 3 + 2E
Sum = 48 years
So,
A + E = 48
(3+ 2E) + E = 48
3 + 2E + E = 48
3 + 3E = 48 (-3 both sides)
3E = 45
E = 45/3
E = 15
Emma is 15 years old.
A = 3 + 2E
A = 3 + 2(15)
A = 3 + 30
A = 33
Alice is 33 years old.
