Jimmy is thirteen years older than Dominique. The sum of their ages is 75. How old is Jimmy? How old is Dominique?
idk what you mean you need to spell it right and put the whole equation it your question. Also its Algebra not alderba. just tryin to help. (✿◡‿◡)
J = D + 13
J + D = 75
(D+13) + D = 75
Solve for D then J.
To find Jimmy's and Dominique's ages, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information.
Let's assume Dominique's age is x.
According to the statement, Jimmy is thirteen years older than Dominique, so his age can be expressed as x + 13.
The sum of their ages is given as 75, so we can write the equation:
x + (x + 13) = 75
Now, let's solve for x to find Dominique's age:
2x + 13 = 75
2x = 75 - 13
2x = 62
x = 62/2
x = 31
So, Dominique is 31 years old.
To find Jimmy's age, we substitute the value of x into the expression x + 13:
Jimmy's age = 31 + 13 = 44
Therefore, Jimmy is 44 years old. Dominique is 31 years old.
