Let L be the age of Leah, J as the age of John, and S as the age of Sue.
Equation 1: S = L - 6
Equation 2: J = L + 5
Equation 3: L + J = 41
Using Equation 3 to get Leah's age:
L + J = 41
L + (L + 5) = 41
2L = 41 - 5
L = 18
Using Equation 2 and substituting L to get John's age:
J = L + 5
J = 18 + 5
J = 23
Check using Equation 3, substituting L and J:
L + J = 41
18 + 23 = 41
Using Equation 1 , substituting L to get Sue's age.
S = L - 6
S = 18 - 6
S = 12
Sue is 12 years old.
Leah is 18 years old.
John is 23 years old.

Sue is 14.Leah is 9.John is 18.L = S - 5J = S + 4L + S + J = 41(S - 5) + S + (S + 4) = 413S - 1 = 413S = 42S = 14PROOF: 14 + 9 + 18 = 41
If Leah is 6 years older than Sue and John is 5 years older than Leah and the total of their agea is 41 then how old is Sue?
The sum of the three kids ages is 41. So we can say that S+J+L=41 We know that Leah is years older than Sue. So we can write her age as L=S+6. We also know that John is 5 years older than Leah. So we can write his age as J=L+5 Since L=S+6 we can write J as S+6+5 or J=S+11 Now we have all three kids ages as terms of Sue's age. S S+6 S+11 Now we add those together and set them equal to 41. 3S+17=41 3S=24 S=8 Sue is 8 years old.
