Jim is 45 years old. He is 10 years older than 5 times his niece Carol. How old is Carol

Answer 1

5C + 10 = 45

5C = 35

C = 7

Answer 2

J = 45 Jims age

C = Carols age

Jim is 10 years older than 5 times his niece Carol

J = 45 = 5 C + 10

45 = 5 C + 10 Subtract 10 to both sides

45 - 10 = 5 C + 10 - 10

35 = 5 C Divide both sides by 5

35 / 5 = 5 C / 5

7 = C

Carol is 7 yo
