Let Max be x years.

Then Lenny is  3x  years

When we subtract Max's age from Lenny's age we obtain  3x-x

This is equal to  24  

Putting all together we have

3x-x=24

2x=24

x=12

Therefore Max is 12 years and Lenny is 36 years

The sum of 4 consecutive numbers is equal to the sum of the next 3 consecutive numbers. Find the largest number.​
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The answer is: The largest number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = (n + 4) + (n + 5) + (n + 6)

4n + 6 = 3n + 15

n = 9

Proof:

9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 19 + 23 = 42

13 + 14 + 15 = 27 + 15 = 42

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)
