Question

Tara is 2 years older than Ryan. The sum of their

ages is greater than 58. Describe Ryan’s age.

Answer 1

• Answer:

Ryan = 28 years

Tara = 30 years

Ryan is over 28 years old.

• Explanation:

T = R + 2

T + R = 58

Replace T

(R + 2) + R = 58

2R = 56

R = 56 : 2

R = 28 years

T = 30 years
