Question

Devaughn is 9 years younger than Sydney. The sum of their ages is 61. What is Sydney's age?

Answer 1

52? ahh thats what im thinking. Maybe wait for someone elses answer

Answer 2

X = devaughn age
 y = sydney age
x = y - 9
x + y = 61
y-9 + y = 61
2y= 61+9
2y = 70
y = 35
x = 35 - 9 = 26

check
35 + 26 = 61

35- 26 = 9
