Answer:

11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

If four brothers have the average age 6, then the sum of their ages is

[tex]4\cdot 6=24[/tex]

years.

Let x years be the age of sister. If four brothers and their sister have the average age 7, then

[tex]\dfrac{24+x}{5}=7.[/tex]

Multiply this equation by 5:

[tex]24+x=35\Rightarrow x=35-24=11.[/tex]

The sister is 11 years old.
