Answer:

38.5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent Mrs.Kelly's age with the parameter (k). It is given that her brother is (15) years younger than her, thus his age is (k - 15). It is given that the sum of their ages is (62). Therefore one can form an equation with the given information and solve for the unknown.

(Mrs.Kelly's age) + (Brother) = (62)

Substitute,

(k) + (k - 15) = 62

Simplify,

k + k - 15 = 62

2k - 15 = 62

Inverse operations,

2k - 15 = 62

2k = 77

k = 38.5
