George is 8 years more than Christopher and Ford is 2 years younger than Christopher. The sum of their ages is 60. Find the ages
of George, Christopher and Ford.
1 answer:
Let us consider that Christopher is 'x' years old
Age of Christopher = x
George is 8 years more than Christopher
Age of George = (x + 8)
Ford is 2 years younger than Christopher
Age of Ford = (x - 2)
Now the sum of their ages is 60
∴ x + (x + 8) + (x - 2) = 60
3x + 6 = 60
3x = 60 - 6
3x = 54
x = 54 ÷ 3
x = 18
Age of Christopher = x = 18 years
Age of George = (x + 8) = 18 + 8 = 26 years
Age of Ford = (x - 2) = 18 - 2 = 16 years
The sum of all their ages = 18 + 26 + 16 = 60 years

The answer is D positive 1/2
M + p = 48
m = 2p - 6
2p - 6 + p = 48
3p - 6 = 48
3p = 48 + 6
3p = 54
p = 54/3
p = 18 <==Pennsylvania Pigs won 18 games
m = 2p - 6
m = 2(18) - 6
m = 36 - 6
m = 30 <==Maryland Monkeys won 30 games
