Question

carl is 7 years older than angela. the sum of five times carl's age and four times angela's age is 197. how old is each now

Answer 1

The ages of Carl and Angela given from the expression is 25 years and 18 years respectively

Equation

• Angela's age = x
• Carl's age = x + 7

• sum of five times carl's age and four times angela's age is 197

5(x + 7) + 4x = 197

5x + 35 + 4x = 197

9x = 197 - 35

9x = 162

x = 162/9

x = 18

So,

Angela's age = x

= 18 years

Carl's age = x + 7

= 18 + 7

= 25 years
