Alden has 5 siblings. his sister is 5 years older than he is and 3 times as old as his second sister. alden's brother is 4 years younger than his second sister. his brother is 2. how old is alden?

Alden is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation

Let x represent Alden's age.

Let y represent the age of his sister.

Let z represent the age of his second sister.

His sister is 5 years older than he is and 3 times as old as his second sister. This means that

y = x + 5

y = 3z

Alden's brother is 4 years younger than his second sister. It means that his brother's age is

z - 4

His brother is 2. It means that

z - 4 = 2

z = 2 + 4 = 6

y = 3z

y = 3 × 6 = 18

Substituting y = 18 into y = x + 5, it becomes

18 = x + 5

x = 18 - 5 = 13
