Question

Zamir is 3 times Gigi's age -6 years. Both of their ages add up to 74. How old is Gigi? How old is Zamir?

Answer 1

Gigi's age is 20 while Zamir's age is 54

Here, we want to get the ages of Zamir and the age of Gigi

Let Gigi's age be g

Now as we have, Zamir is 3 times this minus 6

Mathematically, we have this as;

$g\times3)\text{ - 6 = 3g - 6}$

Now, let us add both together to equal 74;

$\begin{gathered} g\text{ + 3g-6 = 74} \\ 4g-6\text{ = 74} \\ 4g\text{ = 74+6} \\ 4g\text{ = 80} \\ g\text{ = }\frac{80}{4}\text{ = 20} \\ \\ \text{Zamir's age will be 74-20 = 54} \end{gathered}$
