Question 796666: Willard's age is eight less than three times Frank's age. The sum of their ages is 48. Find the age of each person. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Willard's age is eight less than three times Frank's age.
W = 3F - 8
The sum of their ages is 48.
F + W = 48
Replace W with 3F - 8 from
top equation.
F + 3F - 8 = 48
4F = 48 + 8
4F = 56
F = 14
Frank is 14 years old
Willard is 34 years old.
Hope this helps.
