Question

Mr. Weimer is 27 years older than you. Together, our ages add to 59. How old are both of us?

Answer 1

I am 16 and Mr Weimer is 43 years old.

Explanation:

Let my age be x years, then Weimer will be x+7 years old.

So, we have the equation

x + x + 27 = 59

2x = 59-27

2x = 32

x = 16

So I am 16 and Mr Weimer is 43 years old.
