Problem

Gabrielle is 7 years younger than Mikhail. The sum of their ages is 65. What is Mikhail's age? years old

Solution

Step 1 :Let Gabrielle's age be \(g\) and Mikhail's age be \(m\).

Step 2 :Formulate the system of equations: \(g = m - 7\) and \(g + m = 65\).

Step 3 :Substitute the first equation into the second, then solve for \(m\): \((m - 7) + m = 65\).
