Given : Kevin's age is 3 years more than twice John`s age. The sum of their age is 39.
To find : How old is Kevin and John?
Calculations :
- We know that, John is 3 years younger than twice of Kevin's age.
→ John = 39 - 3
→ John = 36
→ John = 36/3
→ John = 12 years
- We know that, Kevin is 3 years more than twice of John's age.
→ Kevin = 12 × 2 + 3
→ Kevin = 24 + 3
→ Kevin = 27 years
Therefore,
- Present age of John = 12 years.
- Present age of Kevin = 27 years.
