Question 350729: If Leah is 6 years older than Sue, and John is 5 years older than Leah, and the total of their ages is 41, then how old is Sue?
This is a multiple choice question, and I have tried to solve to get the answer, but it didn't appear on the sheet. Here is what I did:
(6+x) + (11+x) = 41

2x = 24
x = 12 ? Is this correct? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
