Question

Bruno‘s mother is eight more than twice his age. His father is three years older than his mother is. If all three members have lived a total of 94 years, how old is each family member?

Answer 1

Bruno = 15 years

Mother = 8 + 2(15) = 38 years

Father = 38 + 3 = 41 years

Explanation:

Given that :

Let

Bruno's age = x

Mothers age = 8 + 2x

Father's age = 8 + 2x + 3 = 2x + 11

x + 8 + 2x + 2x + 11 = 94

5x + 19 = 94

5x = 75

x = 75 /5

x = 15

Bruno = 15 years

Mother = 8 + 2(15) = 38 years

Father = 38 + 3 = 41 years
