Gabrielle is 15 years older than Mikhail. The sum of their ages is 81. What is Mikhail's age?

Answer :

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

let g be Gabrielle age

m be mikhail age.

So according to this problem,

[tex]g + m = 81[/tex]

[tex]m + 15 = g[/tex]

Subsitue m+15 for g.

[tex](m + 15) + m = 81[/tex]

[tex]2m + 15 = 81[/tex]

[tex]2m = 66[/tex]

[tex]m = 33[/tex]

So mikhail age is 33.
