Jason is 10 years older than Alex. Mark is 11 years younger than Alex. If the total of their ages is 68, how old is the youngest of them?

Mark is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's just define some variables:

J = Jason

A = Alex

M = Mark

Next, let's put the information given in the question into equations.

Since Jason is 10 years older than Alex we can represent it like this:

J = A + 10

Since Mark is 11 years younger than Alex we can represent it like this:

M = A - 11

All of their ages add up to 68 so we can represent that like this:

J + A + M = 68

We can now do some substitutions to the J and M in this equation, like this:

(A + 10) + A + (A - 11) = 68

Combine like terms:

3A - 1 = 68

Solve for A

3A = 69

A = 23

Now that we found that Alex is 23 we can plug that back in to the first equations to find their ages:

J = 23 + 10

J = 33

M = 23 - 11

M = 12

Mark is the youngest out of the siblings being 12 years old.

Check:

23 + 33 + 12 = 68

68 = 68 :)

I hope this helps!!

just find the gcf and solve the gcf's until you get each answer i have a really good feeling somethings missing xd (like the dimensions of the fence) *cough *cough *hint *hint

step-by-step explanation:

not enough information

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
