Answer:

65 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up variables first:

[tex]U = 4A\\A = A\\U+ A = 65[/tex]

U is the Uncle, A is Alex.

Substitiute U for the last equation.

[tex]4A + A = 65[/tex]

Solve:

[tex]5A = 65\\A = 13[/tex]

This means that Alex is 13 years old.

This also means that the Uncle is 52 years old.

Together they are 65 years old.
