Question 26285: as Half of the world's oldest marrying couple the woman was 2yr younger than the man. Together their ages totaled 185yr. How old was the wife and groom Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the man's age be "x".
Then the woman's age is "x-2"
EQUATION:
The sum of their ages is 185 yr.
x+x-2=185
2x=187
x=93 1/2 yrs (the man's age"
x-2=91 1/2 yrs (the woman's age)
