Problema Solution
If Melissa is twice as old as Kyle and their combined ages is 132, how old is Kyle?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
m = the age of Melissa
k = the age of Kyle
Melissa is twice as old as Kyle
m = 2k
their combined ages is 132
m + k = 132
by soling the system of equations
m = 2k
m + k = 132
we find
k = 44 years
