Question

The sum of Ted's and Leon's ages is

Answer 1

Answer:

Ted is 6 years old

Leon is 7 years old

Andrew is 8 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Ted+Leon=13 ⇒T+L=13 ⇒L=13-T

Leon+Andrew=15 ⇒L+A=15 ⇒A=15-L ⇒A=15-(13-T) because Leon =13-Ted

A=2+T

Ted+Andrew=14

T+A=14  ( substitute Andrew age from A=2+T)

T+2+T=14

2T=12

T=12/2=6 (Ted is 6 years old)

A=2+T=2+6=8 ( Andrew is 8 years old)

Leon=13-T=13-6=7 ( Leons is seven years old)

check: Ted+Leon=13 ⇒ 6+7=13

Leon + Andrew=15 ⇒7+8=15

Andrew+Ted=14 ⇒ 6+8=14
