Answer:

n = 6+x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amy is 6 years old than her brother Leo

Let consider the age of Leo to be x since we are not yet told how old is Leo

Then Amy is 6+x

Now, we know that Leo is seven years old,

i.e x = 7

If n stands for Amy's age,

Then, the algebraic expression showing how old is Amy's age can be expressed as n = 6+x

Amy's age (n) = 6+7

Amy's age (n) = 13
