Methodius 3758

Milan and Methodius are now 70 years old. Seven years ago, Milan was 1.8 times older than Methodius. Determine how old Milan is now and how many Metoděj is.

Correct answer:

a =  43
b =  27

Step-by-step explanation:


a+b=70
a-7 = 1.8 ·(b-7)

a+b = 70
a-1.8b = -5.6

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
a+b = 70
-2.8b = -75.6


b = -75.6/-2.8 = 27
a = 70-b = 70-27 = 43

a = 43
b = 27
