Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

James' age = J

a) Annie is 3 years older than James so,

Annies age = 3 +J

b) Sum of their ages is 18 so,

Annies age + James' age = 18

= 3 + J + J = 18

2J = 18-3

J = 15/2 = 7.5

c) Annies age = 3 + J = 3 + 7.5

= 10.5 years
A) Annie= J+3

B) J+(J+3)= 18

C)
2J+3= 18
-3 -3
2J= 15
1/2(2J) =(15)1/2
J=7.5
18-7.5= 10.5
Annie is 10.5
