Morgan_78 - 23.01.2016 02:40Hello, Alexis! You could use this equation to help you solve it; let x be Connor's age let 4x be Alyssa's age so the equation would be: 4x + x = 75 5x = 75 x = 75 ÷ 5 (did the inverse operation) x = 15 so now we know Connor's age is 15 To find out Alyssa's age just substitute the value of x in the equation; 4x = 4*15 = 60 So Alyssa's age is 60
