together, jareds age and his daughters age total 100. but jareds grandfather is 70 years older than him. how old is jareds grandfather?
This is not possible. Are you sure you didn't leave out any information or mistype anything?
To find out how old Jared's grandfather is, we need to break down the problem into smaller parts.
Let's assume Jared's current age is x years old. Since his daughter's age is not given specifically, let's denote it as y years old.
According to the problem, the sum of Jared's age and his daughter's age is 100. So, we can write the equation:
x + y = 100 -----(equation 1)
Now, the problem states that Jared's grandfather is 70 years older than him. So, we can express Jared's grandfather's age as:
Jared's age + 70 = Jared's grandfather's age
Substituting x for Jared's age, we can rewrite the equation as:
x + 70 = Jared's grandfather's age -----(equation 2)
Now, let's solve the system of equations (equations 1 and 2) to find Jared's age and his daughter's age.
From equation 1, we can express y in terms of x:
y = 100 - x
Substituting this into equation 2, we get:
x + 70 = Jared's grandfather's age
x + 70 = x + 100 - x
Simplifying, we find:
70 = 100
