2. The Miller family made mathematical statements out of their ages as follows. Tom is four less than tw

Gary's age, Rebecca is the youngest and she is two less than half Gary's age after it was increased by

Sam's age is the ratio of seven more than Gary's age to eight less than Gary's age.

. e.

(a) Translate each of the Miller family members ages into algebraic expressions in terms of Gary's age, 8.

Tom's Age:

Rebecca's Age:

Sam's Age:

(b) If Gary is 11 years old how old are each of the family members?

(C) Using Gary's age come up with an expression that represents your age in terms of g. Be creative! For

example, if Mr. Weiler is 43 years old, then his age would be 4g-1.
