Question

Trevon and Riggs are brothers.

Answer 1

Let’s take T for Trevon and R for Riggs.

T = 7 years older than R which can be written as T = R + 7

Their combined age is 49.

Therefore, T + R = 49

We need to find Trevon’s age (T.)

We can substitute R + 7 for T in the equation

T + R = 49.

We have:

R + 7 + R = 49
Now solve.

2R + 7 = 49

2R = 42

R = 21

We have found Riggs’ age which is 21.

Add 7.

Trevon’s age is 28.

Answer 2

Answer:

Trevon is 28 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Riggs =x

Trevon =7+x

7+x+x=49

7+2x=49

2x=49-7

2x=42

x=21

Trevon is 21+7= 28 years old
