Question

Today is Anthony, Kassim and Raymond’s birthday. We want to buy a birthday candle for each one of them but we are not sure how old each one of them is turning. All we know is that as of today Anthony is four years older than Kasim and we know that kasim is twice as old as Ramen. we also know that the sum of their ages is 64

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x be Ramen

Anthony=2x+4

Kasim=2x

Ramen=x

Therefore, if their ages add up to 64 we can add them all up

2x+4+2x+x=64

5x+4=64

5x=60

x=12

Now substitute

Ramen=12

Kasim=24

Anthony=28
