alex and alicia are twins. kevin is 5 years older than the twins.their ages combined is 53. how old are the t?

Question

show equation
how old are the twins if kevin is 5 years older?
age combined of all 3 is 53

Answer 1

Let their age be x

so Kevin's age = x+5

total age = 2x+x+5 = 53 or 3x+5 = 53
x= 16

so ages are alex = 16; alicia (being twin) = 16; kevin = 16+5 = 21

Answer 2

Let a represent alex and alicia's ages
Kevin is five years older than the twins so his age is a+5
Taking all this into account , we get an equation

2a+a+5=53

3a+5=53

3a=48

a=16

Therefore Alex and Alicia are 16 years old while Kevin is 21

Answer 3

The twins are 16 and Kevin is 21.
a+ 2b = 53
a = b+5
b + 5 + 2b = 53
3b = 53 - 5 = 48
b = 48/3 = 16
a = b + 5
a= 16 + 5 = 21

Answer 4

Answer is 16.

x+5 +2x (the twins)=53 so 3x=53-5=48
48/3=16

Answer 5

Given
x=age of Alicia
y=age of Alex
z= age of Kevin
if
z=x+5
y=x
x+y+z=53
What is x?

Formula
x+y+z=53
x+y+x+5=53
x+x+x=53-5
3x=48
x=16

therfore:
Alicia and Alex are both 16

Answer 6

let: x - the age of one of the twins...
x + 5 - the age of kevin

therefore,

53 = x + x + (x + 5)
53 = 3x + 5
48 = 3x
x = 16

therefore, the age of the twins is 16.

Answer 7

suppose the age of the twins is x

then
2x+ x+5 = 53
or, 3x= 53-5
or,3x = 48
or, x= 48/3=16
twins are 16 years old

Answer 8

Alex = x
Alicia = x
Kevin = x + 5
Add them together and set it equal to 53.

3x + 5 = 53
3x = 48
x = 16
Alex and Alicia are each 16.
Kevin is 21.

Answer 9

16 And 16 and 21!

Answer 10

$x = 53;
$y = $x - 5;
$a, $b = $y/3;

print "Alex and Alicia are $a, and kevin is " . ($c+5) . ".\n";

Alex and Alicia are 16, and kevin is 21.
