Question

Karen is 13 years older than Juan. The sum of their ages is 55. How old is Juan?

juan is 13

Answer 1

x+x+13 =55

Answer 2

Let Juan's age = x
Karen's age = x + 13

If the SUM of their ages is 55, then x + (x+13) = 55.

Now, you can finish the problem.

Answer 3

42

Answer 4

No, Juan's age was represented by x. x cannot be 42.

If Juan is 42, then Karen's age will be 55, and their sum is 97.
