Alex is six years older than his sister, Emma. The sum of their ages is 32. How old is Alex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19, because 19+13 =32 and 19 is 6 more than 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

devide 32 by 2 for each person. =16 then make the difference 6 by adding and subtracting half of 6 (3) so 16+3=13 and 16+3 is 19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so alex is 19?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, he is 6 years older so he is 19.
