Question

Richard and Teo have a combined age of 39. Richard is 6 years older than twice​ Teo's age. How old are Richard and​ Teo?

Answer 1

Answer: Richard is 28 and Theo is 11

Explanation:

Because if theo was 11, 11 x 2 = 22 and since richard is 6 years older than double theos age, 22 + 6 = 28, so the combination of theos and richards age is 11+28 =39

Answer 2

Teo is 11 years old

Richard is 28 years old

Step-by-step explanation

t=teo

Richard=2t+6

2t+6+t=39

3t=33

t=11

2*11+6=28
