4 answers

follow the same steps as I just showed you in the previous post.
Let me know what you got.
w+s = 45
(w-5) = 6(s-5)

w - 5 = 6 s - 30
or
w - 6s = -25
w + 1s = 45
------------
-7 s = - 70
s = 10
then
w = 35
difference w-s = 25 years older
Thanks I am grateful
the woman was 25 years when son was born
