A.
8 years old
B.
16 years old
C.
24 years old
D.
32 years old

Answer 1

Answer:

let damon age be x years......1

then Nora's age is 3x.......2

After 8 years,

damon age will be x+8......3

and Nora's age will be 2(x+8)......4

According to the condition,

Adding equation 1 and 2 and also 3 and 4

x+3x = x+8 + 2(x+8)

4x = x+8+2x+16

4x = 3x + 24

4x-3x = 24

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

therefore 24 is the correct answer.
