Question

Bradley is 27 years older than Madison. Seven years ago, the sum of their age was 59. How old are they now?

Answer 1

Answer:

bradley is 50 and madison is 23

Step-by-step explanation:

m + 27 = b

(b - 7) + (m - 7) = 59

[(m + 27) - 7] + (m - 7) = 59

m + 20 + m -7 = 59

2m + 13 = 59

2m = 46

m = 23, b = 23 + 27 = 50
