I'd say what you would do is:
You can either
1. Add 15 and 18 together and then divide by 2
OR
2. Since there is a 3 number difference between 15 an 18, just add 3 to 18
Soln:
Let mikhale's age be X
Gabrielle's age be 3X
Sum of their ages is 44
To find,
their ages.
X+3X=44
4X=44
X=44/4
X=11
mikhale's age= 11
Gabrielle's age = 3x11=33
Sum of their ages 44
Thus we have got their ages.Gabrielle's age is 33 and Mikhale's age is 11.
One number is 26 the other is 23
x+y=49
Y=x+3,X (now substitute it in the equation)
x+3+x=49
2x+3=49
2x=46. X=23
Y=x+3. Y=23+3 =26 for checking 23+26=49
The answer is 11 and 14/33.
