Raul is 5 Years older than twice Carlos’s age. The sum of their ages is 101. How old is Carlos?

Question

I’ve been stuck on this question for at least 20 minutes trying to figure it out I can’t figure it out for some reason. Please help, thank you!

Answer 1

R=5+2C

R+C = 101

5+2C + C = 101

3C = 96

C = 32 years old

R=5+64 = 69

69+32 = 101
