Question

Diane is 25 years older than her son Craig. The sum of their ages is 105. How old are Diane and Craig?

Answer 1

40 and 65

Explanation:

Craig is 40.

Diane is 65.

40+25=65.

Diane is 25 years older than Craig.

40+20=105

Answer 2

Let Craigs age = x

Therefore Dianes age = 25 + x ( since she's 25 years older)

Dianes + Craigs age = (25 + x) + x = 105 (They said both of their ages sums up to 105)

25 + 2x = 105

2x = 80

x = 40

Craigs age is 40 years old.

Dianes age is 65 years old.
