The correct Answer is:
To express the statement "your mother is more than twice as old as you" in mathematical form, we can follow these steps: 1. **Identify the variables**: Let your age be represented by \( y \) and your mother's age by \( m \). 2. **Calculate twice your age**: To find twice your age, we multiply your age \( y \) by 2. This gives us \( 2y \). 3. **Express the relationship**: The statement says that your mother is "more than" twice your age. In mathematical terms, this means that your mother's age \( m \) is greater than twice your age \( 2y \). 4. **Write the inequality**: We can express this relationship as an inequality: \[ m > 2y \] Thus, the mathematical form of the statement "your mother is more than twice as old as you" is: \[ m > 2y \]
