Yolanda's was 25 years old when they were married.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Age of Xavier = x

Age of Yolanda = x + 4

Combined age = 126

According to given statement;

Xavier's age + Yolanda's age = 126

[tex]x+(x+4)=126\\x+x+4=126\\2x=126-4\\2x=122\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{122}{2}\\x=61[/tex]

Yolanda's age = x+4 = 61+4 = 65

Age when married = 65 - 40 = 25

Yolanda's was 25 years old when they were married.
