Question

Max is three years younger than his brother John. The sum of max's age 3 years ago and 2/3 of john's age at that time is 12. How old is John now?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

• Maxs age- x
• Joh's age- y

As per given:

• x=y-3

(x-3) + 2/3 (y-3)=12

y-3-3+2/3 (y-3)=12

y-6+2/3 y-2=12

5/3 y=20

y=12, then x=9

Jonh is 12 and Max is 9
