Question

Jeannie is 8 years older than her younger sister April. When added together, their ages equal 198. How old is April?
A.
27
B.
35
C.
95
D.
103

Answer 1

j = a + 8
j + a = 198
now sub a + 8 in for j in the 2nd equation
a + 8 + a = 198
2a + 8 = 198
2a = 198 - 8
2a = 190
a = 190/2
a = 95
now sub 95 in for a in either equation to find j
j = a + 8
j = 95 + 8
j = 103

April is 95
