Question

Hullan's age is three times Thomas's age. The sum of their ages is 92. What is Thomas's age?

Answer 1

Answer: 23

Step-by-step explanation: You can start by setting this up as an equation like so,

X + 3(X) =92 where x is Thomas’ age and the 3x indicates Hullans age being 3 times greater than Thomas.

Combine the x’s

4(x) = 92

Divide by 4 X = 92/4

92/4 = 23, x = 23
