Question 1152053

Sally is 6 years more than twice as old as Sue. The difference between their ages is 48 years. How old is Sally?
<pre>Let Sue's age be S
As it's crystal clear that Sally is older, we get: 2S + 6 - S = 48
S, or Sue = 48 - 6 = 42
Sally's age: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,3, 42 + 48, "=", 90))}}}
