Question

Jeremy is 26 years younger than his father. Eight years hence his father's age will be two
years less than twice his age. What is Jerenry's present age (in years)?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Father’s Present Age = X

So, Jeremy’s Present Age = X-26

After 8 Years

Father’s Age = X+8

Jeremey’s Age = X-26+8

So,

X+8 = 2(X-26+8)-2

X+8 = 2X-52+16–2

So, X = 46

Hence Father’s Present Age = 46 Years

Jeremey’s Present Age = 20 Years
