    M = 6w - 31

    m + w < 11

    6w - 31 + w < 11

    7w - 31 < 11

    7w < 11 + 31

    7w < 42

    w < 42/7

    w < 6

    oldest age warren can be is 5 ... but I do not see how that is possibly because if warren is 5, then marty is : 6 (5) - 31 = 30 - 31 = - 1

    unless u make warrens age 5 1/2 ... making warrens age 2 ... wait, that wont work because u need a whole number
