Question

Edgar is 27 years older than Felix. If Felix figures out that five times his age is three less than Edgar's age , how old is Felix.

Answer 1

let Felix's age = f & Edgar's age = f + 27

to find Felix's age...

`5f = f + 27 - 3`

`4f = 24`

`f = 6`

to find Edgar's age...

`6+ 27`

Edgar's age = 33
Felix's age = 6

Answer 2

Felix is 4.8 years old
