The sum 4

The sum of Robin's age is 45. Seven years ago, Robin was 16 years, more than one-half as old as Bruno then. How old is Bruno?

Correct answer:

B =  17

Step-by-step explanation:


B+R = 45
(R-7) = 16+(B-7)/2

B+R = 45
B-2R = -39

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
B+R = 45
-3R = -84


R = -84/-3 = 28
B = 45-R = 45-28 = 17

B = 17
R = 28
