Question

John is 5 years older than Randy. Oscar is twice as old as Randy. How old are each of the three boys is the sum of their ages is 85?​

Answer 1

Randy: 20 years old John: 25 years old and Oscar is 40 years old

Evidence: (5+x)(x)(2x) = 85
4x +5 = 85
4x = 80
x= 20 which is Randy’s age
20+ 5= 25 which is Johns age
20 • 2 = 40 which is Oscar’s age
