Question

Kevin is 3 years older than Daniel. Two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel. How old is Kevin now?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let daniel is x years old so kevin is x+3 years old . 2years ago- daniel’s age=x-2and kevin’s age= x+3-2 =x+1 also kevin’s age = 4(x-2) so x+1=4x-8

3x=9 so x=3 kevin’s age =3+3 =9 years

Answer 2

Hii ☺ !


Let present age of Daniel be X years.



Age of Kevin = ( x + 3 ) years.



A/c,


x + 3 - 2 = 4 ( x - 2 )



x + 1 = 4x - 8



4x - x = 8+1



3x = 9


x = 3



Present age of Daniel = X = 3 years.

And,

Present age of Kevin = x + 3 = 3+3 = 6 years.
