x - age of Mikhail's 3x - age of Gabrielle (three times Mikhail's age)
x + 3x = 56 4x = 56 |:4 x = 14 <-- age Mikhail 3 * x = 14 * 3 = 42 <-- age Gabrielle
As is clear from the job three times the 14 to 42 by adding 14 gives 56, which is behind what they have in total.
By setting up a system of equations, we find that Mikhail is 14 years old, and Gabrielle is 42 years old. This is done by expressing their ages as equations based on the given information, then solving for the unknowns. ;
Mikhail is 14 years old and Gabrielle is 42 years old. This was determined by setting up a system of equations based on the relationships given in the problem. We solved for their ages step-by-step using substitution.
