Question

Devaughn is 13 years younger than Sydney. The sum of their ages is 79 . What is Sydney's age?

Answer 1

Answer: 46 years old

Step-by-step explanation: If Devaughn is 13 years younger than Sydney,

we can represent Sydney's age as x and Devaughn's age as x - 13.

Since the sum of their ages is 79, we have x + x - 13 = 79.

This simplifies to 2x = 92.

Dividing both sides by 2, we have x = 46.

So sydney is 46 years old.
