Answer:
Sydney is 45
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent Sydney's age. Then Devaughn's age is (s-14). The total of their ages is ...
s +(s -14) = 76
2s = 90 . . . . . . simplify, add 14
s = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 2
Sydney's age is 45.
___
Check
Devaughn's age is 45 -14 = 31. Their age total is 45 +31 = 76, as required.
Answer:
x + (x - 14) = 76
2x - 14 = 76
2x = 90
x = 45
Sydney is 45
45 - 14 = 31
Devaughn is 31
31 + 45 = 76 ✅
