Question 843936: Bella and Boris are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. Today, their combined age is exactly
100. If Boris is 4 years older than Bella, how old was his bride on the day of their wedding?

This can be solved simply by picking out random #'s
10*4=40 (40+10=50) This is not the answer because it does not add to 100
20*4=80 (80+20=100)This is the answer because it does add to 100
So in this case the bride is 20, and the groom is 80(that's kinda weird that the age difference is so much but anyways.)
Hope this helps
