Jim is twice as old as George and six years older than Bill. Their ages total 39 years. How old is Jim​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Age of Jim = x years

Age of George = (x/2) years

Age of Bill  = x - 6

Their total age = 39 years

x + (x/2) + x - 6 = 39

[tex]x+\frac{x}{2}+x=39+6\\\\2x+\frac{x}{2}=45\\\\\frac{2x*2}{2}+\frac{x}{2}=45\\\\\frac{4x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}=45\\\\\frac{4x+x}{2}=45\\\\\frac{5x}{2}=45\\\\x=\frac{45*2}{5}\\\\x=9*2[/tex]

x = 18 years

Jim is 18 years old
