kevin's age is fourteen more than half of jane's age. the sum of their ages is 39. how old are kevin and jane?

Answer 1

K= 14 + J/2

K + J = 39

14 + J/2 + J = 39

(3/2)J = 39-14 = 25

J = (2/3)25 = 50/3 = 16 2/3 years old = 16 years and 8 months is Jane's age

K= 39- 16 years and 8 months = 22 years and 4 months = Kevin's age
