Find the age of each

Question

Rema is older than Ken.  The difference of their ages is 12 and the sum of their ages is 50.

Answer 1

Let Rema's age = R

Let Ken's age = K

 

Rema is older than Ken, so:

R > K

 

The difference of their ages is 12, so:

R - K = 12

 

the sum of their ages is 50, so:

R + K = 50
