Answer:
Mikhail is 44 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set both Gabrielle and Mikhail's age to a variable.
Gabrielle is x, Mikhail is also x.
Now create an equation using the variables with the sum.
Age1 + Age2 + 15 = 103
x + x + 15 = 103
Now we solve.
1. Combine like terms
2x + 15 = 103
2. Make all the numbers on one side of the equation, and the variables of the other, so subtract.
2x + 15 - 15 = 103 - 15
2x = 88
3. Simplify further by dividing.
x = 44
Mikhail is 44 years old.
Check your work:
44 + (x + 15) = 103
x + 15 = 59
x = 44
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Gabrielle's age be x.
The age of the milk will be x - 15.
x + (x - 15) = 103.
2x - 15 = 103
2x = 118
x = 59
The milk's age = x - 15 = 59 - 15 = 44.
