Celeste is 30 and Beth is 25

let x be Celeste's age now then Beth is x - 5

next year they will be 1 year older

Celeste's age will be x + 1 and Beth will be x - 5 + 1 = x - 4

the sum of their ages is therefore

x + 1 + x - 4 = 57

2x - 3 = 57 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 30

Celeste is 30 and Beth is 30 - 5 = 25

eduard
Answer

Rebecca has 76 comic books
Maurice has 54 comic books

Step-by-step

Since there are 54 fewer comics and together they have 130 comics, you should subtract 54 from 130. Once you do that your answer will be 76; and that is how many comics Rebecca has. And 76+54=130 so Maurice has 54 comics
