Question 1191544
<pre>
PERSON        AGE
John          X
Jill          X-2
Tom          2X+X+8
SUM           82
</pre>
{{{X+(X-2)+(2X+X+8)=82}}}-----------very literal according to the given description.


{{{5X+6=82}}}

{{{5X=76}}}

X is not a very neat whole number but a somewhat dubious nonwhole number.
