Question

lenny is 3 times older than max. when you subtract max's age from lenny's age you get 24. how old is lenny and how old is max

Answer 1

Lenny is 36 years old and Max is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation

Suppose, the age of Max is
`x` years.

As Lenny is 3 times older than Max, so the age of Lenny will be:
`3x` years.

Now, when you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age you get 24. So, the equation will be.....

`3x-x=24\\ \\ 2x=24\\ \\ x=(24)/(2)=12`

So, the age of Max is 12 years and the age of Lenny is (3×12)= 36 years.
