Answer 1

Let's call x the age of the first president bush, then:

Taking into account the sentence, "if you divide the age of the first President Bush when he was inaugurated by 2 and add 14 years you get the age of president Clinton when he was first inaugurated", we can write the following equation:

x/2 + 14 = 46

So, solving for x, we get:

x/2 = 46 - 14

x/2 = 32

x = 32*2

x = 64

Answer: The first president Bush was 64 years old when he was inaugurated.
