Answer 2

Answer:

Daniel is 3 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The present age of Daniel be x years.

Thus, the present age of Kevin will be (x + 3) years.

2 years ago, Daniel’s age was = (x – 2) years.

And, Kevin’s age was = (x + 3) – 2 years = (x + 1) years.

According to the problem,

Two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel.

(x + 1) = 4 (x - 2)

x + 1 = 4x – 8

1 + 8 = 4x – x

3x = 9

x = 9/3=3

Hence, Daniel is now 3 years old.
