The average of 6 birds age is 10 the difference in the youngest and oldest is 8 years what are the ages of the 6 birds?

Let's denote the ages of the birds as x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, and x6. We know that the average age is 10, so the sum of their ages is 6 * 10 = 60. Since the difference between the youngest and oldest is 8, we have the equation x6 - x1 = 8. Additionally, the sum of their ages is x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 = 60. With these two equations, you can solve for the ages of the 6 birds.
