The sum of John’s and Matt’s ages is 42. The difference of their ages is 6. If Matt is older than John, what are their ages? Matt is 16 and John is 20. Matt is 30 and John is 14. Matt is 24 and John is 18.
42-6=36 Now we divide this by two to make it equal 36÷2=18 Since John is younger, he is 18 years old and Matt is 18+6=24 years old.. There you are all done.. ask me if you need any help understanding this!!
