Answer 1

Caroline is 12 years older than Nick. Mark is 4 years younger than Nick. If the total of their ages is 44, how old is the youngest of them

Mark is 8 Years youngest of them

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Nick age = x

Caroline age = x+12

Mark age = x-4

Equation : x+(x+12)+(x-4)=44

3x+8=44

3x=44-8= 36

x=36/3 = 12

age of youngest = x-4 = 12-4=8 years
