Arvin is twice as old as Cory. The sum of their ages is 42. What are their ages?
Let Arvin's age be a. Let Cory's age be c. We're given two equations:
2c + c = 42
Plug this into our search engine and we get:
c = 14
Now, we plug c = 14 into equation 1 to solve for a:
a = 2(14)
a = 28
Let Arvin's age be a. Let Cory's age be c. We're given two equations:
- a = 2c
- a + c = 42
2c + c = 42
Plug this into our search engine and we get:
c = 14
Now, we plug c = 14 into equation 1 to solve for a:
a = 2(14)
a = 28
