Q: Tim the Turtle is twice as old as his sister Tina. Together, their ages add up to 18 years. How old are Tim and Tina? Solution: Let’s denote Tim’s age as T and Tina’s age as t. Given T = 2 * t and T + t = 18. Substitute T = 2 * t into the second equation: 2 * t + t = 18 3 * t = 18 t = 18 / 3 t = 6
Therefore, Tim’s age T = 2 * 6 = 12. So, Tim is 12 years old, and Tina is 6 years old.

Q: A mother turtle and her daughter turtle’s ages add up to 45 years. The mother’s age is the daughter’s age reversed. How old could they be? Solution: Let’s consider the two-digit possibilities for the mother’s and daughter’s ages that sum to 45 and have their digits reversed. If the mother’s age is 41, the daughter’s age would be 14. Sum: 41 + 14 = 45. If the mother’s age is 32, the daughter’s age would be 23. Sum: 32 + 23 = 45.
Therefore, the valid pairs are: 41 & 14 or 32 & 23.
