Question

Kim is 7 years older than May. If three times Kim's age plus 5 times May's age is equal to 165, what are the ages of Kim and May?

Answer 1

k = m +7

3(m+7) + 5 m = 165

Answer 2

Kim is x+7years and May is x years old. So 3(x+7) + 5x = 165. 8x + 21 = 165. 8X= 144 X= 18. So Kim is 18+7 which is 25years and May is 18years

Answer 3

kim is 25
may is 18
