Question

Ben is 3 years older than Evan. The sum of their ages is 41. How old is Evan? I’ve been stuck on this for a long time so please someone help solve this. Thanks!

Answer 1

Answer:

Evan is 19 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'e' = Evan's age

let 'e+3' = Ben's age

e + e + 3 = 41

2e + 3 = 41

2e = 38

e = 19
