Sleepy is eight years younger than scoopy. Doc is 5 times as old as scoopy. The sum of their age is 55. How old are each of them? This is the exact problem from worksheet.

The age of Sleepy is 1.

Then the age of Scoopy is 9.

The age of Doc would be 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the ages of all the three people based on the given equations.

Let the age of Sleepy be x. Since Scoopy is 8 years older than Sleepy, the age of Scoopy would be (x+8).

Also Doc is 5 times as old as Scoopy so his age is 5 (x+8).

Now the sum of the ages of all three is 55.

Writing equation for this,

x + x + 8 + 5 (x+8) = 55

7x + 48 = 55

7x = 7

x = 1

So the age of Sleepy is 1. Then the age of Scoopy is 9.

The age of Doc would be 45.
