of her sister. If the total of the ages of each of these four family members is 72, how old is Martha?
1 answer:
Answer:
Martha's sister: x years old
Martha: x+5
Her father: 3(x+5)
Her mother: 8x
Total: 72
x+5+x+3(x+5)+8x=72
x+5+x+3x+15+8x=72
13x+20=72
13x=72-20
13x=52
x=52÷13
x=4
How old is Martha?
