Asher is 4 Years younger than jacob, and the sum of their ages is 66 find the ages of asher and jacob

1 answer

Let's assume Asher's age is x.

According to the given information, Jacob's age will then be x+4.

Since the sum of their ages is 66, we can write the equation as:

x + (x+4) = 66

By combining like terms, we get:

2x + 4 = 66

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

2x = 62

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 31

Therefore, Asher's age is 31 and Jacob's age is 31 + 4 = 35.
