If you would like to know how old is Lou, you can calculate this using the following steps:

Lou ... l years old = ?

Zack ... z = 15 1/2 = 31/2 years old

Zack is 3 years younger than Lou:

z = l - 3

15 1/2 = l - 3

31/2 + 3 = l

l = 31/2 + 6/2

l = 37/2 = 18 1/2 years old

Result: Lou is 18 1/2 years old.
