Question

The sum of Jerry's and Carrie's ages is 52. Jerry is 4 years older than Carrie. What is Jerry's age?

Answer 1

28

Explanation:

let's assumed that

x = Jerry's age

y = Carrie's age

if Jerry 4 years older that Carrie

x = y + 4

x + y = 52

(y + 4) + y = 52

2y + 4 = 52

2y = 48

y = 24

x = y + 4

x = 24 + 4

x = 28

X = Jerry’s age
4 + x = 52
X = 52-4 = 48
