So the problem is reduced to the solution of this system of 2 equations
= (1) (T = the teacher's age; H = the husband's age)
T + H = 105. (2)
First step is to multiply eq(1) by 6 (both sides) to simplify the system:
2T = 3H - 60 (1')
T + H = 105. (2')
Next step is to express H = 105 - T from (2') and then to substitute it into eq(1') to get
2T = 3*(105-T) - 60,
2T = 315 - 3T - 60,
2T + 3T = 315 - 60 ====> 5T = 255.
And now YOU make the last step.
I used the Substitution method to solve the system for this problem.
