since leah's age is compared to sue and john's is compared to leah's, set sue as "x" so:\n\nx=sue\n since leah is 6 yrs older\nx+6=Leah\nand since john is 5 yrs older than leah\nx+6+5=John\n\nand the sum of their ages is 41 so add them\n\nx+(x+6)+(x+6+5)=41\n3x+17=41\n3x=24\nx=8\n\nthen plug 8 back in\nx= sue.....sue is 8\n\nx+6= Leah...Leah is 14\n\nx+6+5= John...John is 19

DISAGREE!!!! Don't get me wrong George is still an attractive ol' guy, but ummm definitely NOT the sexiest... But then again I guess he would be sexy to the panel of men and women @ People magazine, who chose him, after all those people are in their 50-60's... (This morning the editor or something like that... from People Magazine was on some random morning show and she looks like she's about 50 years old or so.... )

(John + Paul) x (George + Ringo) = John x George + John x Ringo + Paul x George + Paul x Ringo\n\nMick + Keith + Brian  = Keith + Brian + Mick

EEEEW!!  He's certainly old enough to be Katie's father (16 year difference) but that's just gross.  Whether or not he fathered her child is a different issue.

I suppose it does matter. For some people. My parents are 5 years apart. Some people are together and are over 10 years over than the other person! But I think it would probably be better if there wasn't such a big age difference. But that is just MY opinion.

I believe that both parties need to be of age or at least close to it. As long as they are happy, I don't see where we have the right to tell them they are wrong. My BF has a cousin in her 30s and her husband is 83! They are happy. She is his life...literally, she is what keeps him young!\n\nNo age is not an issue it is a number!

The sister does not age at an exponential rate.\n\nBasically, the sister is seventeen years older than her brother, right?  She won't be twice as old as him forever--just that one year! \n\nAnother, easier, example:  older sister is 4, younger sister is 2.  The older sister is twice as old as the younger sister.  The next year, the younger sister will be 3, and the older sister will be 5.  Is the older sister still twice as old?  Of course not! \n\nSo, when the boy is 23, the sister will still be 17 years older.  23+17=40.\n\nThe "twice as old" thing is just there to confuse you.  The question could have easily read:  A boy is 17 years old and his sister is 17 years older than he.  When the boy is 23 years old, what will be the age of his sister.

The oldest is 18, I think. I would guess that the youngest is maybe 8?

Was 40 and 10. Now 45 and 15.\n\nYou do not need the information that the combined age was 50 in 2001 to be given you, to be able to solve this.\n\nM = 3S\nM-5 = 4 (S-5) = 4S - 20\nM = 4S - 15\nSubtract 1st line from 3rd line\n0 = S - 15\nS = 15\nSubstitute in 1st line to get \nM = 45
