Answer :

Answer:

b)29

Explanation:

Let the husband, Ryan's age = x

Heather is six years younger than her husband, therefore:

Heather's age = x-6

The sum of their ages = x+(x-6)

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+(x-6)=52 \\ 2x-6=52 \\ 2x=52+6 \\ 2x=58 \\ x=\frac{58}{2} \\ x=29 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Ryan is 29 years old.
