Denna is four more than three times older than ted. the sum of their ages is 60. how old is ted?

60 the sum is 60? Right so I’m guessing this is a trick question

60 minus 4 is 56. For example. if ted is 10, Denna is 30, totaling 40. to apply this to our problem, we'd divide 56 by 4. Ted is 14, as 3 times 14 is 42. Denna is 42 plus Ted being 14 is 56. 56+4 is 60.
