Question

Jack was 8 years older than priscilla. together their ages totaled 154 years. what were their ages?

Answer 1

Jack is 81, Priscilla is 73

Explanation:

Because their age difference is 8 years, we can subtract 8 from the total 154 years to get 146. Then we divide by 2 to get 73, so Priscilla is 73. Jack is 8 years older, so therefore he is 81. We can check this by adding 81 + 73 = 154.
