Answer: The equation is 2j + 3 = 36

Step-by-step explanation: The first clue is Mindy’s age which is given as 36. Also Jake’s age is given as j. However the clue to finding Jake’s age is that,

Mindy’s age is three years older than (that is + 3) two times Jake’s age (that is 2 x j, or simply 2j).

If Mindy’s age is 36, then the equation needed to solve for Jake’s age is

36 = 2j + 3 OR better still

2j + 3 = 36
