S = sally C = Chris J = Joe
sally is one year older than 3 times the age of joe, so
s = 3j + 1
chris is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of jo, so
c = 6j - 5
sally and chris are the same age so
s = c so
3j + 1 = 6j - 5
-3j -3j
1 = 3j - 5
+5 +5
6 = 3j or
3j = 6
3j/3 = 6/3
j = 2

check
s = c
3(2) +1 = 6(2) - 5
6 + 1 = 12 - 5

Answer: Joe is 2 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of Joe.

Sally is 1 year older than 3 times the age of Joe. It means that the age of Sally is

3x + 1

Chirs is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of Joe. It means that the age of Chris is

6x - 5

If sally and Chris are the same age, it means that

6x - 5 = 3x + 1

6x - 3x = 1 + 5

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2 years
