A = Angelique's ages
S = Serena’s ages
V = Venus’ ages
A / S = 5 / 3
S / V = 6 / 5
Angelique is 25 years older than Venus mean:
A = V + 25
Replace this value in equation:
A / S = 5 / 3
( V + 25 ) / S = 5 / 3 Multiply both sides by S
V + 25 = 5 S / 3 Multiply both sides by 3
3 ( V + 25 ) = 5 S Divide both sides by 5
3 ( V + 25 ) / 5 = S
S = 3 ( V + 25 ) / 5
S / V = 6 / 5 Multiply both sides by V
S = 6 V / 5
S = S
3 ( V + 25 ) / 5 = 6 V / 5 Multiply both sides by 5
3 ( V + 25 ) = 6 V
3 V + 3 * 25 = 6 V
3 V + 75 = 6 V Subtract 3 V to both sides
3 V + 75 - 3 V = 6 V - 3 V
75 = 3 V Divide both sides by 3
75 / 3 = V
25 = V
V = 25
Replace this value in equations:
A = V + 25 and S = 6 V / 5
A = V + 25 = 25 + 25 = 50
S = 6 V / 5 = 6 * 25 / 5 = 150 / 5 = 30
A = 50 , S = 30 , V = 25
average = ( A + S + V ) / 3 =
( 50 + 30 + 25 ) / 3 =
105 / 3 = 35 yrs
S = Serena’s ages
V = Venus’ ages
A / S = 5 / 3
S / V = 6 / 5
Angelique is 25 years older than Venus mean:
A = V + 25
Replace this value in equation:
A / S = 5 / 3
( V + 25 ) / S = 5 / 3 Multiply both sides by S
V + 25 = 5 S / 3 Multiply both sides by 3
3 ( V + 25 ) = 5 S Divide both sides by 5
3 ( V + 25 ) / 5 = S
S = 3 ( V + 25 ) / 5
S / V = 6 / 5 Multiply both sides by V
S = 6 V / 5
S = S
3 ( V + 25 ) / 5 = 6 V / 5 Multiply both sides by 5
3 ( V + 25 ) = 6 V
3 V + 3 * 25 = 6 V
3 V + 75 = 6 V Subtract 3 V to both sides
3 V + 75 - 3 V = 6 V - 3 V
75 = 3 V Divide both sides by 3
75 / 3 = V
25 = V
V = 25
Replace this value in equations:
A = V + 25 and S = 6 V / 5
A = V + 25 = 25 + 25 = 50
S = 6 V / 5 = 6 * 25 / 5 = 150 / 5 = 30
A = 50 , S = 30 , V = 25
average = ( A + S + V ) / 3 =
( 50 + 30 + 25 ) / 3 =
105 / 3 = 35 yrs
