Question

..Theresa is eight years younger than Sian. If the sum of their ages is 34, how old is Therese?

Answer 1

13....?

Answer 2

13 plus 8 = 21 not 34

Answer 3

yaa bt 13 +21 is 34......

Answer 4

Let x = Sian's age
x - 8 = Theresa's age

x + (x - 8) = 34

Solve for x.

Answer 5

let sian's age be 'x' and teresa's age be 'x-8'
x-8+x = 34
2x-8 = 34
2x = 34+8
x = 42/2
x = 21

so,sian's age=21
teresa's age = 21-8
= 13
