Gabrielle is 5 years older than mikhail. the sum of their ages is 45 . what is mikhail's age?

Use a system of equations.

Age of Gabrielle: x
Age of Michael: y

x-5=y
x+y=45

x=y+5

(y+5)+y=45
2y+5=45
2y=40
y=20

Mikhail is 20 years old.

Hope this helps!

G = Gabrielle
M = Mikhail

g + m = 45
g = m + 5

Input g into g + m = 45

(m+ 5) + m = 45
2m + 5 = 45
Subtract 5 from both sides.
2m = 40
Divide both sides by 2.
m = 20

Input m into g = m + 5

g = 20 + 5
g = 25

Mikhail is 20 years old.
