You can put this solution on YOUR website! deanna is five more than six times than ted. Twine the sum of their ages is 94. How old is ted?
x= Deana's age
y= Ted's age
=============
x=6y+5
2x+2y=94
===============
substitute x=6y+5 for x in second equation
2(6y+5)=94
12y+10=94
12y=84
y=6
Now plug that in the first equation for y;
x=6(6)+5
x=36+5
x=41
