4.2.32 Richard and Teo have a combined age of 41. Richard is 5 years older than twice Teo's age. How old are Richard and Teo?
Richard is years did, and Teo is years old.
Type whole numbers.)

Richard is 29 and Teo is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let Teo's age be n then Richard is 2n + 5 ( 5 more than twice Teo's age )

Thus their combined ages are

n + 2n + 5 = 41 , that is

3n + 5 = 41 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3n = 36 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = 12

Then

Teo is 12 years old and Richard is 2(12) + 5 = 24 + 5 = 29 years old
