Question 758195
Cary is 8 years older than Dan. In 3 years the sum of their ages will be 68. Find the age of each man now.
***
let x=Dan^s age now
x+8=Cary's age now
In 3yrs:
x+3=Dan^s age
x+8+3=x+11=Cary's age
Dan's age +Cary's age=68
x+3+x+11=68
2x=68-14
2x=54
x=27
x+8=35
Dan^s age now=27
Cary's age now=35
