Answer:

Let Ron’s present age be x.

Then Aaron’s present age = x - 5

After 4 years Ron’s age = x + 4, Aaron’s age x - 5 + 4.

According to the question;

Ron will be twice as old as Aaron.

Therefore, x + 4 = 2(x - 5 + 4)

⇒ x + 4 = 2(x - 1)

⇒ x + 4 = 2x - 2

⇒ x - 2x = -2 - 4

⇒ -x = -6

⇒ x = 6

Therefore, Aaron’s present age = x - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1

Let, the age of the Aaron = 'x' says

Age of the ron = x+5

After 4 years aaron age = x+4

After 4 years ron age = x+5+4=>x+9

Given that,

Ron will be twice as old as aaron

➡️X+9=2(x+4)

➡️X+9=2x+8

➡️X-2x=8-9

➡️-x=-1

➡️X=1

Present age of aaron=x=> 1 year

Present age of ron=x+5=>1+5=>6years
