Answer: 24 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Laurel's age be represented by x.
Since Maye is 28 years and he is 12 years older than 2/3 of Laurel's age, this can be represented in an equation as:
(2/3 × x) + 12 = 28.
2x/3 = 28 - 12
2x/3 = 16
Cross multiply
2x = 16 × 3
2x = 48
Divide by 2
x = 48/2
x = 24
Therefore, Laura is 24 years
