(20 ÷ 2) + 6
(20 ÷ 2) − 6
10 x 2 + 4
10 − (2 x 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{20}{2} + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is the first one.

Jasmine is 20 years old and half her age would be 20÷2.

Jasmine's brother is 6 years more than half her age so, it's (20÷2)+6

Answer 2

The first one. 20/2 = 10, 10+6 = 16.
