Question 1145796
.
<pre>
C = D + 7                   (1)     "Cary is 7 years older than Dan."


(C + 10) + (D + 10) = 103   (2)     "In 10 years the sum of their age will be 103."


From (2)


C + D = 103 - 20 = 83       (3)


Substitute (1) into (2).


(D+7) + D = 83

2D + 7 = 83

2D     = 83 - 7 = 76

 D              = 76/2 = 38.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  Dan is 38 years old.  Cary is 38+7 = 45 years old.
