​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Aaron is 5 years younger than Ron. Four years later, Ron will be twice as old as

Answer 2

Aaron is 5 years younger than Ron

that means Ron is 5 years older than Aaron.

So, let present age of Aaron be x

So present age of Ron = x+5

After 4 years,

Age of Aaron = x+4

Age of Ron = x + 5 + 4

According to the question,

x + 5 + 4 = 2(x + 4)

x + 9 = 2x + 8

9 - 8 = 2x - x

x = 1

Present age of Aaron = 1 year

Present age of Ron = 1+5 = 6 years
