Problema Solution
Write an equation that models how old in years each of you will be, when your ages add up to 150 years old. For example, if x = your age and the eldest person was a year older than you, you would write their age as x + 1. Then the equation would be: x + (x+1) = 150
Ages are 53, 6 and 32.
Answer provided by our tutors
Ages are 53, 6 and 32.
In 't' years the ages will be: 53 + t, 6 + t and 32 + t and they will add up to 150:
(53 + t) + (6 + t) + (32 + t) = 150
by simplifying we get the following equation:
3t = 59
