<u /><em></em>let the age of jim be x
carla's age= x+5
tomy's age= 6+5+x
sum of their ages=31
x+x+5+x+5+6=3x+16=31
3x=31-16
=15
x=15 divided by 3
= 5
jim's age=5
carla's age=<u />10
tomy's ag<u>e = 16</u>
Answer:
The number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
let the said number be x
Nineteeen less than 6 times a number;
6x - 19
equals; 16 more than the number; this is 16 + x
Thus;
6x - 19 = 16 + x
6x-x = 16 + 19
5x = 35
x = 35/5
x = 7
