Question 786069
Cody is twice as old as Evan and five years ago the sum of their age was 11. Find the age of each boy now.
-------------------
Equations:
c = 2e
c-5 + e-5 = 11
--------------------
Substitue for "c" and solve for "e":
3e - 10 = 11
3e = 21
---
Evan is 7 yrs
----
c =2e
Cody = 14 years
