Leah is six years older than her sister sue john is five years older than leah the sum of their ages is 41 how old is sue

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sue's age = x

Leah's age = x + 6

John's age= Leah's age + 5 = (x+6) + 5 = x + 11

Sum of their ages = 41

x + (x+6) + ( x+11 )  = 41

x + x+6 +x +11 = 41

3x + 17 =41

3x = 41 -17

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x =8

Sue's age = 8 years
