Start your reasoning from Maya's age m.
To get to Zach's age, you have to double it and add 3.

So 2m + 3 = 23. That's the first answer.

Answer:

The correct option is A) [tex]23=2m+3[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Zach is 23 years old. Zach's age is 3 years older than twice Maya's age.

Let m represent Maya's age.

Twice of Maya's age can be written as:

[tex]2m[/tex]

3 years older than twice Maya's age can be written as:

[tex]2m+3[/tex]

It is given that Zach is 23 years old and Zach's age is 3 years older than twice Maya's age.

Thus, the above expression equal to 23.

[tex]23=2m+3[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is A) [tex]23=2m+3[/tex].
