Question

Bob is twice as old as Alice at the moment. In 4 years time, their total age will be 71. What is Alice's age now? (I kinda just worked out the answer so I'll give brainliest to whoever answers it correct first.)

Answer 1

Answer:

alice is 21 yrs old

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would subtract 8 from 71 (you need to subtract 4 for alice and 4 for bob)

71 - 8 = 63

then you need to divide 63 by 3 to find alice's age (because bob is twice as old as her)

63 ÷ 3 = 21
