The sum of Eve and Ann's ages is 44. Eve is twice as old as Ann was when Eve was half as old as Ann will be when Ann is three times as old as Eve was when Eve was three times as old as Ann. How old is Eve?
The equation for the sum of Eve and Ann's ages is x + y = 44, where x is Eve's age and y is Ann's age.
We know this because it is explicitly stated in the given statement that "the sum of Eve and Ann's ages is 44."
No, we cannot determine the individual ages of Eve and Ann with just this information. We only know that their ages add up to 44, but we do not have any information about their individual ages.
Yes, there are infinite combinations of ages for Eve and Ann that would equal 44. For example, Eve could be 22 years old and Ann could be 22 years old, or Eve could be 10 years old and Ann could be 34 years old. As long as their ages add up to 44, there are multiple possibilities.
No, we cannot make any other conclusions about Eve and Ann's ages based on this information alone. We would need more information, such as their individual ages or a relationship between their ages, to make any other conclusions.
