The total age of 4 brothers and sisters is 38. Barry is two years older than Carrie. Larry is one year older than Barry.

Question

Gary is five years older than Carrie. How old is each?

Answer 1

B = C+2 = L-1 = G+3

B + C + L + G = 38

Express all in terms of B and calculate B.
C = B-2
L = B+1
G = B-3

Then calculate other ages.
