Alice is 14 years younger than bob. If Alice and Bobs arges are added together , the result is 96. What is alices age?

Question

how can i solve this ?

Answer 1

Ramirez,

A=B-14  *Bob is older

A+B=96   

=(B-14)+B=96  *substitute for A

2B-14=96   *combined like terms

 

Now solve B, Bob's age. Remember that Alice is 14 years younger. Enough clues?

 

Good luck!
