Question

Kerry is twice as old as Mel. The sum of their ages is 33. How old is Mel?

Answer 1

Hey It's your answer

Let the age of Mel be X

then according to question Kerry's age is 2x

if we add up their ages we will get 33

It means

2x+X=33

3x=33

X=33/3

X=11

Mel's age was X ,so her age is 11

Kerry's age was 2x ,so her age is 2×11=22

Hope it will be Helpful
