Question

Aaron is 5 years yonger than Ron. Four years later, Ron will be twice as old as Aaron. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the age of Aaron be x and the age of Ron be y.

y-x=5---(1)

y+4=2(x+4)=2x+8

y+4=2x+8=>y-2x=4---(2)

Substituting y=5+x in (2) from (1)

5+x-2x=4

5-4=2x-x

x=1 yr

y=5+x=5+1=6yrs

So, the present ages of Aaron is 1 year and Ron is 6 years.

Question answer- Let the age of Aaron be x and the age of Ron be y.

y-x=5---(1)

y+4=2(x+4)=2x+8

Substituting y=5+x in (2) from (1)

5+x-2x=4

5-4=2x-x

x=1 yr

y=5+x=5+1=6yrs

So, the present ages of Aaron is 1 year and Ron is 6 years.
