Question

Solving a word problem with two unknowns using a linear equation

Gabrielle is 10 years older than Mikhail. The sum of their ages is 110. What is Mikhail's age?​

Answer 1

50

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the 10 from 110, to find both their ages without the ten years older, then add back 10 to 50 to find Gabrielles age, and use 50 as Mihail's age.

Hope this makes sense and helps :)
