Question 604702: Jake is 5 years younger than twice the age of Cal, and Lila is 4 years older than Jake. The sum of all their ages is 59. How old is Lila? Answer by asuar010(338) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equations are set up as follows J=2C-5 L=J+4 and C and J+L+C=59 where the letters represent the names.. then we put them together by solving for c in all of them and we get 2C-5+2C-5+4+C=59 and if we solve for C we get 13 J=21 and L= 25
