Question 124498
Lets do this question by using algebra.
First, make the unknown things variables.
Make Mrs. kim "m" and her husband "h".


So, state the knowledge that u have so far.

m=h-4
m+h=62

Now, replace m with h-4


So, h-4+h=62

Simplify

h-4+h=62
2h-4=62
add both sides by 4
2h=66
divide both sides by 2
h=33
now, replace h with 33 to find out m
33-4=m
29=m
now u have the answer:


m=29
h=33


check:

29=33-4

29=29 CORRECT!!!

so, here is the answer once again:

m=29
h=33
