Question

Three times Heidi's age plus two times Georges age equals 51 Heidi's age is also five times georges age how old is George

Answer 1

George is 3 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times Heidi's age plus two times Georges age equals 51

Heidi's age is also five times George's age

Assume that George's age is x

• Heidi's age is also five times George's age
• Heidi's age is 5x
• Three times Heidi's age plus two times Georges age equals 51
• 3(5x) + 2(x) is 51

Use the information to solve the problem

∵ 3(5x) + 2(x) = 51

- Simplify it

∴ 15x + 2x = 51

∴ 17x = 51

- Divide both sides by 17

∴ x = 3

∵ x represents George's age

∵ x = 3

∴ George's age is 3 years

George is 3 years old
