Question

The age of Noelle’s dad is six less than three times Noelle’s age. The sum of their ages is sixty-two. Find their ages.

Answer 1

Noelle is 17 years old and Noelle's dad is 45 years old.

Explanation:

Noelle + Dad = 62

N + D = 62

||

N + (3N-6) = 62

N + 3N - 6 = 62

4N = 62 + 6 = 68 ====> N = 68%2F4 = 17.

Noelle's dad; 3*17-6 = 45 years.
