You question is not clear.
Are all these age problems based on the 10 year old, 55 year old and 75 year old or are these separate problems?
Are these ages three different people?
For example, "at my age of 55, in years, how old was the older person of 75 when I was born?"
Based on this wording, my answer to you would be,
75 - 55 = 20
The older person was 20 when you were born 55 years ago.
How old in years each of us will be, when our ages add up to 150 years old?
x = 10yo
x + 45 = 55yo
x + 65 = 75yo
x + x + 45 + x + 65 = 150
3x + 110 = 150
3x = 40
x = 13.33
x = 13.33 = age of 10yo
x + 45 = 58.33 = age of 45yo
x + 65 = 78.33 = age of 75yo
In years, how old were you when the youngest person was born?
55 - 10 = 45
Is this what you are looking for?
Could someone please help me solve this problem, the age numbers that I am working with are 10yrs old 55yrs old and 75yrs. old. I need to know at my age of 55, in years, how old was the older person of 75 when I was born?
Could you please write an equation that models how old in years each of us will be, when our ages add up to 150 years old. For example, if x = your age and the eldest person was a year older than you, you would write their age as x + 1. Then the equation would be: x + (x+1) = 150.
Explain the reasoning which helped you develop your equation.
Solve for your future ages. Are your answers reasonable, do they add up to 150?
In years, how old were you when the youngest person was born?
At some point during the lives of you and the youngest person, your age will be three times his/her age at that moment. Write an equation which models how old in years each of you will be when you are three times as old as the younger person.
Explain the reasoning which helped you develop your equation.
Solve the equation for your ages when you are three times as old as the youngest person. Are your answers reasonable?
