Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

let present age of Aron is x years

so present age of Ron is ( x+5) years

5 years later Aron is (x+4) years and

Ron is (x+5+4) years

so,

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

=> x+9=2x+8

=> 2x-x=9-8

=> x=1

so present age of Aaron is 1 year and present age of Ron is (1+5)years= 6years
