Question

Tony and Belinda have a combined age of 56. Belinda is 8 more than twice Tony’s age. How old is each?

Answer 1

tony is 16, belinda is 40

Answer 2

let tony's age be x.
so Belindas age = 56-x.
Belinda is 8 more than twice Tony’s age.
so
56-x = 2x+8
can u solve this and find x ?

Answer 3

@Turner Please provide more than just the answer. Try to work with the asker as hartnn has.

56 - 8 = 48
48 / 3 = 16 (tony's age)
16 x 2 + 8 = 40 (belinda's age)
