Question 992319
Brayden = 94
Erin = 34
x = number of years ago.


94 - x = 5 * (34 - x)


simplify to get 94 - x = 170 - 5x


subtract 94 from both sides of the equation and add 5x to both sides of the equation to get:


-x + 5x = 170 - 94


combine like terms to get:


4x = 76


divide both sides of the equation by 76 to get x = 19


Brayden was 5 * the age of Erin 19 years ago.


94 - 19 = 75
34 - 19 = 15


75 is equal to 5 * 15.


solution is confirmed.


x = 19
