The sum of Mr. Micklow and Ms. Craft's age is 55. The difference is 3. Solve: x + y = 55 x - y = 3

The ages will be 26 years and 29 years.

x + y = 55 i

x - y = 3 ii

From equation ii, x = 3 + y iii

Put equation iii into I

x + y = 55

(3 + y) + y = 55

3 + 2y = 55

2y = 55 - 3

2y = 52

y = 52/2

y = 26

Therefore, x will be: = 26 + 3 = 29

The ages are 26 and 29 years.

x = 29 and y = 26

Mr. Micklow's age is 29 years and Ms. Craft's age is 26 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Micklow's age is x and Ms. Craft's age is y

∵ The sum of their ages is 55

∴ x + y = 55 ⇒ (1)

∵ The difference between their ages is 3

∴ x - y = 3 ⇒ (2)

Now you have a system of equation let us solve it

Add equation (1) and (2) to eliminate y

∵ (x + x) + (y - y) = (55 + 3)

∴ 2x = 58

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 29

Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or (2) to find y

∵ 29 + y = 55

- Subtract 29 from both sides

∴ y = 26

Mr. Micklow's age is 29 years and Ms. Craft's age is 26 years

sas find two sides with an angle in between

aa is finding two angles and the third will add up to 180

sss find all sides
