Answer:

Therefore, Aroha is 17 yrs old and her brother is 14 yrs old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent Aroha's brother's Agee with the letter "b" yrs old.

If Aroha is 3yrs older than her brother, she's : (b+3) yrs old.

The sum of their ages is 31,

b+(b+3)=31

2b+3=31

Collect like terms,

2b=31-3

2b=28

Divide both sides by 2,

b=14

b+3=17
