If Leah is 6 years older than Sue, and John is 5 years older than Leah, and the total of their ages is 41. Then how old is Sue?

6 answers

Just translate the English to Math.

Let Sue's age be x
"Leah is 6 years older than Sue" ----> Lea's age is x+6
"John is 5 years older than Leah" ----> John's age is x+6 + 5 = x+11
"the total of their ages is 41" ----> x + x+6 + x+11 = 41

solve for x

see how easy these can be?
