Question 1091552: Shelias age is 2 years more than twice Nicole's age. The sum of their ages is the same as steves age. If steves age is ten years less than 5 times Nicole's age, find the age of each. Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sheila = 2N+2
Steve = 5N-10
N+2N+2 = 5N-10
3N = 5N-12
-2N = -12 Divide both sides by -2 and remember that -/- = +
N = 6
-------------------------------
Check:
6+2(6)+2 = 5(6)-10
6+12+2 = 30-10 Correct
