Question

Devaughn is 15 years younger than Sydney. The sum of their ages is 73. What is Sydney’s age?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sydney is 44 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Make a system of equations

d = s - 15

d + s = 73

Step 2:  Plug in s - 15 for d in the second equation and solve

s - 15 + s = 73

2s - 15 = 73 + 15

2s  / 2= 88 / 2

s = 44

Answer:  Sydney is 44 years old
