"MUM IS 20 YEARS OLDER THAN ANDREW, AND 24 YEARS OLDER THAN ANNE. THE THREE AGES TOTAL 73. HOW OLD IS MUM & HOW OLD IS ANDREW?"
Evening everyone. My little boy is trying to solve this problem. He got the correct answer (39, 19 & 15) but it was by guessing enough numbers until it was correct. Obviously not the way it was supposed to be done. ? Can anyone please give me a way to explain it to him in a way a 9 year old would understand??
