Answer:
Aisha is 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first consecutive number = a
Let the second consecutive number = a+2
a + 2(a+1) = 83 Distribute the 2
a + 2a + 3 = 83 combine the a's
3a + 3 = 83 Subtract 3 from both sides
3a = 81 Divide both sides by 3
a = 27
Check: One woman is 27 and the other is 28
27 + 2(28) = 83
27 + 56 = 83
83 = 83
