Question

If you double president Reagans age at the time of his first inauguration and subtract his age at the time he died,the result is 45 years. How old was president Reagan when he died?

Answer 1

93

Explanation:

Let's say President Reagan was x years old when he died. He was 69 years old at his first inauguration

(2*69)-x = 45

Wait. But how will we find x in that equation?

--> (2*69)-45 = x

That's better.

2*69 = 138

138-45 = 93

x=93
