Problema Solution
The sum of Linda's and Steve's ages is 113. Steve is 11 years older than Linda. How old is Linda and how old is Steve?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'l' and 's' stand for the ages for Linda and Steve. We can write:
l+s=113 ('the sum of Linda's and Steve's ages is 113')
s=l+11 ('Steve is 11 years older than Linda')
Using Algebrator to solve for 'l' and 's', we get:
l=51
s=62
