Richard and Teo have a combined age of 41. Richard is 11 years older than twice Teo's age. How old are Richard and Teo?
Richard is years old, and Teo is years old.
(Type whole numbers.)

Respuesta :

Richard = R & Teo = T

Richard & Teo are combined 41 it means R + T = 41

R = 8 + 2T

R + T = 41 #1

R = 8 + 2T #2

replace 2 in 1

8 + 2T + T = 41

8 + 3T = 41

3T = 41 -8 = 33

T = 11

R = 8 + 2*11 = 30

result = richard is 30 & teo is 11 years old.

2 times of Teo is 22

and 8 years older it means + 8

= 30
