Annie is two years more than three times as old as her son, Jared. If the difference between their ages is 26, how old are Annie and Jared?

Answer 1

A = 3J + 2

A - J = 26

Substitute 3J+2 for A in the second equation and solve for J. Then put J value in the first equation to solve for A. Check by putting both values into the second equation.

Answer 2

annie=26
jared=10

Answer 3

Annie=26
Jared=10
