Answer:

s+12=24 & s=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Annas hair is 24 inches and is longer than her sister's hair by 12 inches.

We can come to the conclusion her sister's hair is 12 inches less than Anna.

Sisters hair = s

s=24-12

but, this needs to be an addition equation, so we add 12 to both sides to move the negative 12 over.

s+12=24

after solving, you get

s=12

her sisters hair is 12 inches.
