Question

Math

Bob's age is 4 times greater than Susanne's age. Dakota is three years younger than Susanne. The sum of Bob's, Susanne's, and Dakota's ages is 93. What is Susanne's age?

Answer 1

Susanne is 16

Explanation:

Let x be Dakota's age

x + 3 = Susanne's age

4(x+3) = Bob's age

Sum of their age is:

x + x + 3 + 4(x + 3) =

Simplify:

x + x + 3 + 4x + 12

6x + 15 = 93

6x = 78

x = 13

Susanne is 3 more than x (13 +3) which is 16
