Question 1069659

Melissa is 5 years younger than Ann. In 6 years, the sum of their ages will be 35. How old is each now
<pre>Let Ann's age be A
Then Melissa's is: A - 5
We then get the following SUM-OF-AGES equation: A + 6 + A - 5 + 6 = 35
2A + 7 = 35
2A = 28
A, or Ann is: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,2, 14, years-old))}}}
Melissa is: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,4, "14 - 5,", or, 9, years-old))}}}
