Question
If Ann is 6 years older than her sister, Sue, and John is 5 years older than Ann, and the total of their ages is 41. Then how old is Sue?
Answers
A = S + 6
J = A + 5
A + J + S = 41
A + (A +5) + (A-6) = 41
3 A = 42
Take it from there
J = A + 5
A + J + S = 41
A + (A +5) + (A-6) = 41
3 A = 42
Take it from there
