Question

Kevins`s age is 3 years more than twice John`s age. The sum of theie age is 39.
How old is Kevin and John?

Answer 1

Answer:

• John's age = 12 years
• Kevin's age = 27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let John's age be 'x'

so, Kevin's age would be 2x+3

Also, their ages' sum is 39.

So, we got an equation to compute, i.e -

$(x)+(2x+3) = 39\\2x + x + 3 = 39\\3x + 3 = 39\\3x = 39-3\\3x = 36\\x = \frac{36}{3} \\\\x = 12 yrs$

⇒ Age of John = x = 12 yrs

⇒ Age of Kevin = 2x+3 = 24+3 = 27 yrs
