Question 1124685: Ariel is 2 years older than twice Juan's age. Felix is 6 years older than Juan. If the sum of their ages is 80, how old is each person?
A+J+F=80
A= 2J+2
F= J+6
Is this set up correct? How do I find their ages at this point?
Your setup is correct, and you are on the right track.
Congratulations !
Your next step is to substitute the expressions from the second line and from the third line into very first equation.
You will get then
(2J + 2) + J + (J+6) = 80.
Simplify and solve for J.
Then evaluate A and F.
