Answer:

Hi friend! The answer is D. 10

I hope this helps!

Answer:

B) 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Assign variables to each person:

A=Alina's Age

M=Amy's Age

G=Greg's Age

Set up a system of equations given the information:

A=6+G

M=2.5A

M=40

Notice that M is already given, so we can plug that into the second equation:

40=2.5A

16=A

So Alina is 16 years old, but the problem asks for Greg's age, so we plug Alina's age in the first equation:

16=6+G

10=G

So Greg is 10 years old, therefore B is the correct answer.
