Question

I'm very confuse on this math problem.

Tanya's age is ten years greater than half Aaron's age. It the sum of their ages is 55, how old is Tanya?

Thank You

Answer 1

Aaron = x
Tanya = 10 + (1/2)x = 10 + x/2

x + (10 + x/2) = 55
2x/2 + 10 + x/2 = 55
3x/2 + 10 = 55
3x/2 = 45
3x = 90
x = 30

Aaron is 60... so Tanya is
10 + 30/2 = 10 + 15 = 25

Answer 2

say Tanya' age = t
first you take
55 - 10 = 45
than you trying to find Aaron's age which is
45/3 = 15
remember that 15 is 1/2 of Aaron age than you take
15 + 15 = 30
30 is Aaron's age. now that you have Aaron's age you can find Tanya's age remember Tanya's age is ten years greater than 1/2 of Aaron's age and you already know that 1/2 of Aaron's age is 15 than you take that 15 and add it to the 10 years they said she had
15 + 10 = 25
so you wanna check to see if its right
30 + 25 = 55 so its correct
Aaron's age is 30 and Tanya's age is 25

Answer 3

Tanya is 25. Because if you - 10 from the 25, you get fifteen. This is half aarons age of 30. and 30 + 25 equals 55.

Answer 4

Assume Tanya's age = T; Aaron's age = A

From the text we get that T = 10 + (A / 2)

So

55 = T + A

55 = 10 + (A / 2) + A

3A = 90

A = 30

T = 10 + (30 / 2) = 25

Aaron's = 30
Tanya's = 25

Answer 5

x+y=55 (sum of their ages)
x+10=(1/2)y (where x is Tanya's ago and y is Aaron's)
x=(1/2)y-10

(1/2)y+10+y=55
1/2Y+Y=45
1 1/2y = 45 (multiply by 2, then divide by 3)
3y=90
y=30 (Aaron's age)
x=30/2 +10
x=25 (Tanya's Age)

Answer 6

THis is a logic problem

She is 10 + 1/2(aaron)

Aaron + Tanya = 55

SO

T = 10 + .5(A)
A+ T =55
A + [10 + .5A] = 55
1.5A = 45
A = 30

THEREFORE
Tanya = 15+10

SO she's 25

Answer 7

T = A/2 + 10
T+A=55

A/2+10 = 55-A
A+20 = 110 -2A
3A = 90
A=30
T=25
