Question 1108474
alicia is x years old.


jayden is 4 times as old as alisha.


that makes jayden's age equal to 4 * x.


the sum of their ages is 45.


that makes x + 4 * x = 45


combine like terms to get 5 * x = 45.


solve for x to get x = 45/5 = 9.


alisha is 9 years old.


jayden is 4 * 9 = 36 years old.


the sum of their ages if 36 + 9 = 45 years.


solution is confirmed to be good.


the solution is that jayden is 36 years old.
