Samuel and Jackson are brothers. Samuel is three years older than twice the age of Jackson. If the sum of their ages is 18, how old are the brothers?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Samuel = 13yrs

Jackson = 5yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel = 2x + 3

Jackson = x

sum = 18

2x + 3 + x = 18

3x = 18 - 3

3x = 15

x= 5yrs

Samuel = 2x + 3

             = 10 + 3

             = 13 yrs

Jackson = x

             = 5yrs
