Age difference

Milo and George are a total of 56 years old. Milo is eight years younger than George. Please find out how old each of them is.

Final Answer:

j =  32
m =  24

Step-by-step explanation:


m+j=56
m=j-8

j+m = 56
j-m = 8

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
j+m = 56
-2m = -48


m = -48/-2 = 24
j = 56-m = 56-24 = 32

j = 32
m = 24
