Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP, ITS DUE TONIGHT

Tony is 6 years older than his brother Zack. The sum of their ages is 42. Write an equation for
this situation and use it to determine the age of each brother.(**Define your variable)

Answer 1

Zack = x

Tony = x + 6

x + x + 6 = 42

2x + 6 = 42

2x = 36

x = 18

So,

Zack = x = 18

Tony = x + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24
