Question

The difference between the ages of two friends is 2 years. The sum of their ages is 74 years. Find the age of the older friend.

Answer 1

The age of the older friend is half of the sum of the sum and the difference.

Did I give you a headache?

Age of the older friend = (74+2)/2=38

See if you can figure out how to calculate the age of the younger friend?
