Question 1158150

Gorge is 4 times as old as Henry in 3 years the sum of their ages will be 86 how old is Henry 


In 3 years, their ages sum to 86, so now the ages sum to 86 - 2(3), or 80
<pre>Let Henry's age be H
Then Gorge, or is it George, is 4H
We then get: H + 4H = 80
5H = 80
Henry or {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,6, H, "=", 80/5, "=", 16, years-old))}}}
