A 32 year old mother realized that her age is twice the sum of her two children ages. Her son Jose is two years older than her daughter sophia how old are sophia (x) and Jose (y) ? help me and explain me pls



Answer :

Again, guess and test should work perfectly fine.  Since 2(x+y)=32, x+y = 16. Because y-2 =x, y could be = 9 and x = 7. Hope that help!

 jose is 9 and Sophia is 7 because 32 divided by 2= 16 and 9+7=16 and jose is 2 years older so he has to be nine and she is seven!!! hahaha I figured it out finally
