Question

Aldo”s age is three times thoma”s age. The sum of their ages is 44 what is thomas age

Answer 1

Thoma is 11

Explanation:

We can call Aldo 'a' and Thoma 't'.

"Aldo's age is three times Thoma's age" can be written algebraically as a = 3t

"The sum of their ages is 44" can be written as a + t = 44

Because we know that a = 3t, we can substitute this into the equation a + t = 44 to get 3t + t = 44. This can be simplified to 4t = 44. If we divide both sides by four we get t = 11. This means that Thoma is 11.

Hope this helps!
