Answer:

x = 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We would first put it in an equation

5x - 1 = 10 + 3x

We would first add 1 on both sides

5x = 11 + 3x

Then we subtract 3x on both sides

2x = 11

Divide both sides by 2

x = 11/2

Sushil is 6 years older than Brian. Caroline is 5 years younger than Brian. If the total of their ages is 64, how old is the you

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

16 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the letters s, b, and c for Sushil, Brian, and Caroline's ages. Sushil is the oldest, followed by Brian, and then Caroline, the youngest. From the problem description, we can set up three equations:

s = b + 6 (Sushil is 6 years older than Brian)

c = b - 5 (Caroline is 5 years younger than Brian)

s + b + c = 64 (The total of their ages is 64)

Since s and c are already in terms of b, we can substitute them into the last equation and solve to find Brian's age:

(b + 6) + b + (b - 5) = 64

3b + 1 = 64

3b = 63

b = 21

Now that we know Brian's age, we can simply subtract 5 to find Caroline's:

c = b - 5 = 21 - 5 = 16 years old.
