Question

The difference of the ages of two friends is negative five. The sum of the two ages is twenty-five. How old is each of the friends?

Answer 1

Hmm this one is really straight forward c:
We just need to come up with a variable for each friend.
How bout A and B.

The difference of age of the two friends is -5
A - B = -5

The sum of the ages of the two is 25.

A + B = 25

So they made it easy on us, we can probably combine these right away can't we? c:

Answer 2

yes, so the B will cancel out!
