Mr Jones is 4 years older than his wife and 31 years older than his son. their ages add up to 82 years. if Mr Jones is x years old, find the value of x and the ages of his wife and son.

39 Mr Jones

35 Mrs. Jones

8 Son

Step-by-step explanation:

x       > Mr. Jones

x - 4  > His wife

x - 31 ---> His son

x + (x - 4) + (x - 31) = 82

3x - 35 = 82

3x = 82 + 35

3x = 117

x = 117/3

x = 39 Mr Jones

x - 4

39 - 4

35 Mrs. Jones

x - 31

39 - 31

8 Son
