alicia is x years old.
jayden is 4 times as old as alisha.
that makes jayden's age equal to 4 * x.
the sum of their ages is 45.
that makes x + 4 * x = 45
combine like terms to get 5 * x = 45.
solve for x to get x = 45/5 = 9.
alisha is 9 years old.
jayden is 4 * 9 = 36 years old.
the sum of their ages if 36 + 9 = 45 years.
solution is confirmed to be good.
the solution is that jayden is 36 years old.
