Question 650558
Luke is three years older than rachel who is three years older than danial. If their ages add up to 51, how old is luke.
--------
Equations:
L = R + 3
R = D + 3
L + R + D = 51
------
R+3 + R + R-3 = 51
3R = 51
R = 17 (Rachel's age now)
----
Solve for "L":
L = R+3
L = 20 (Luke's age now)
---
Solve for "D":
D = R-3
D = 14 (Danial"s age now)
