Question

Poppy is 5 years older than Cairo. Their ages in years added up to 25. How old is Poppy and Cairo?​

Answer 1

cairo 10 poppy 15
10+5=15

Answer 2

10 and 15

Explanation:

let Cairo's age be x then Poppy's age is x + 5 , then

x + x + 5 = 25

2x + 5 = 25 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2x = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 10

That is Cairo is 10 years old and Poppy is 15
