Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = brothers age

edith is 60 years less then 5 times her brothers age.....

so edith = 5x - 60

so they're twins....the same age....so set them equal to each other

x = 5x - 60

x - 5x = -60

-4x = -60

x = -60/-4

x = 15 <===== edith (and her bro) are 15 years old
