Brooke is 3 years younger than Samantha. In 5 years, the sum of their ages will be 29. Find Brooke's age

Brooke is 8 years old! This is what I did⬇️

5x2=10. (In 5 yrs 10 will add to the sum of their age.

29-10=19. (The sum of their ages right now is 19)

11 + 8 = 19 (11 is 3 more than 8 and it equals their ages together)

Brooke:8

Samantha:11

The sim of their age will be 19 NOT 29

s = Samantha

s-3=Brooke

In 5 years:

Samantha = s+5

Brooke (s-3) + 5 = (s+2)

(s+5) + (s+2) = 29

2s = 7 = 27

2s=22

s=11 Samantha = 11

Brooke = 11-3 = 8 8+11=19
