Question

Four friends were born on consecutive years. The sum of their ages is 62. What is the age of the youngest friend?

Answer 1

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 62

Answer 2

4x + 6 = 62

Subtract 6 from both sides

4x = 56

Divide 4 from both side

x = 14

14 + 14 + 1 + 14 + 2 + 14 + 3 = 62

62 = 62

The youngest age is 14
