Leah is six years older than her sister Sue John is five years older than Leah the sum of their ages is 41 how old is Sue

Answer:sue age is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let sue age be x

therefore Leah age is 6+x

so john age will be 5+6+x

and the sum of their age is 41

sue age =

x+6+x+5+6+x=41

3x+17=41

3x=41-17

3x=24

x=24/3

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sue's age = x

Leah's age = x + 6

John's age = Leah's age + 5 = (x+6) + 5 = x + 11

Sum of their ages = 41

x + (x+6) + (x+11) = 41

x + x+6 + x + 11 = 41

3x + 17 = 41

3x = 41 - 17

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

Sue's age = 8 years
