Two children have 7 years difference in age. In 10 years their ages will total 32. What is the age of each child?
---------
In 10 years, age + (age+7) = 32
2*age + 7 = 32
2*age = 25
age = 12.5 yrs and 19.5 years
-------------
Now
age = 2.5 yrs and 9.5 yrs
---------------------------
I think that it does not equate. Thanks for your help.
