Let the age of Gabrielle be G

and the age of Mikhail age be M

given: Gabrielle is 15 years younger than Mikhail → G = M - 15

the sum of their ages is 43 → G + M = 43

M - 15 + M = 43

2M = 43 + 15

M = 58/2

M = 29

G = 29 – 15 = 14

Mikhail is 29 years old.

Answer: 28

Step by step explanation:

The sum minus Gabrielle’s age so it would be 43 - 15 which is equal to 28
