Question

4. Aaron is 5 years younger than Ron. Four years later, Ron will be twice as old as Aaron. Find their present ages. answer this question briefly

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the present age of ron be x

present age of aaron = x-5

age of ron 4 years later = x+4

age of aaron 4 years later = x-5+4 = x-1

x+4 = 2( x-1 )

x+4 = 2x-2

x = 6

present age of aaron = x-5 = 1 year

present age of ron = 6 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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
