The sum of Jason’s age and his brother’s age is 55. Jason is 7 years younger than his brother. How old is Jason?

Jason is 24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say that Jason's age is X, and his brother's age is Y.

We know that X + Y = 55.

We also know that (X + 7) = Y.

This means (X + 7) + Y = 62 (We got the 62 by adding 55 and 7)

Anyway if X+7= Y, and X+7 + Y = 62, then X+7 = 62/2, right?

We divide the 62 by 2 and we get 31.

Alright, so X+7 = 31.

substract both sides by 7.

We get X = 24

Sorry if this seemed longer or more complicated than it should've been, I don't know how to explain it better.

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
