Four friends were born on consecutive years.
The sum of their ages is 62. Let's find the age of the youngest friend:
Formula:
4x + 6 = 62
=> First is to Subtract 6 from both sides

4x = 56
Then next thing to do is to divide 4 from both sides:
=> x = 14

14 + 14 + 1 + 14 + 2 + 14 + 3 = 62

 62 = 62

 Thus the youngest age is 14
