Question

Jim is 4 years older than mark if the sum of their ages is 44 find the age of each person

Answer 1

jim is 24 years old, Mark is 20 years old

Explanation:

This prompt can be set up using this equation:

Let's represent Mark's age by variable m and Jim's age by variable J.

j + m = 44

m + 4 = j

m = j - 4

j + (j - 4) = 44

2j - 4 = 44

2j = 48

j = 24

So, jim is 24 years old, meaning mark must be 20 years old. 20 + 24 results in 44 years old together.
