Question

Two cousin one is five years older. the sum of there age is 37. how old are they

Answer 1

Subtract the difference from the total, then divide by 2, that would be the age of the youngest, then add the difference to that for the age of the oldest.

37 - 5 = 32

32 / 2 = 16

The youngest is 16.

16 + 5 = 21

The oldest is 21.

The ages are 16 and 21.
