Question 1116325
bilal is four years older then anne and the sum of thier ages is 36. write an equation to find out their ages
<pre>Let Bilal's age be B
Then Anne's is: B - 4
We then get: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,7, B + B - 4, "=", "36,", or, 2B - 4, "=", 36))}}}
Finding B will give you Bilal's age. From that you can find Anne's age.
OR
Let Anne's age be A
Then Bilal's is: A + 4
We then get: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,7, A + A + 4, "=", "36,", or, 2A + 4, "=", 36))}}}
Finding A will give you Anne's age. From that you can find Bilal's age.
