A T-Rex has two children. Their ages are consecutive integers that
total 33. How old are they both?
33/2 = ?
16.5
It must be in a equation form.
x+x=33
2x=33
2x/2=33/2
x=16.5
get the whole no. then the rounded no.
16+17=33
To find the ages of the two children, we can set up an equation based on the given information:
Let's assume the ages of the two children are x and (x + 1), where x is the age of the younger child. We know the total of their ages is 33, so we can write the equation:
x + (x + 1) = 33
Simplifying the equation, we get:
2x + 1 = 33
To isolate the variable, we subtract 1 from both sides:
2x = 32
Dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 16
Therefore, the younger child is 16 years old, and the older child is one year older, making them 17 years old.
