Question 467302: a man and his brother have a combined age of 136 years. 24 years ago, the man was 10 times as old as his brother. how old is the man? how old is his brother? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! m+b=136
m-24=10(b-24)
m-24=10b-240
m=10b-216
10b-216+b=136
11b=352
b=32
m=104
The man is 104 years old!!!! His brother is only 32!!!!Is this even possible?
