Question

Kevin is 4 years older than his sister June the summer their age ages is 14 how old is Kevin

Answer 1

Let's denote June's age as \( J \). According to the information provided, Kevin is 4 years older than June, so we can express Kevin's age as \( K = J + 4 \).

The problem states that the sum of their ages is 14:

\[
K + J = 14
\]

Substituting \( K \) with \( J + 4 \):

\[
(J + 4) + J = 14
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
2J + 4 = 14
\]

Now, subtract 4 from both sides:

\[
2J = 10
\]

Dividing both sides by 2 gives:

\[
J = 5
\]

Now, we can find Kevin's age:

\[
K = J + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9
\]

So, Kevin is **9 years old**.
