Question

Janet is 6 years younger than Bernelle.How old is each girl if the sum of their ages is 26?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Bernelle age be x.Then

Janet age =x-6

Sum of their ages=26

Therefore,x+(x-6)=26

x+x-6=26

2x=26+6

x=32/2

x=16

Hence,Bernelle's age=16 years

Janet's age=16-6=10 years
