Ques..
6 years ago, james was twice as older than oliver
how old is james if oliver is 22 years old...​

Answer 1

Answer:

38 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the present age of James be x and present age of Oliver be y

Then, according to the question :

(x-6) = 2(y-6)

if y = 22 then,

x-6 = 2(22-6)

=> x-6 = 2×16

=> x = 32+6 = 38

So, when Oliver will be 22 years old then James will be 38 years old.

Answer 2

Answer:

James would be 24 years old, if Oliver is 22 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cause 6 years ago Oliver was 16 which means James would of been 18. SO if Oliver is 22 years old today, than James would be 24 years old.

22 Oliver age today

-  6 years

16 years old

IF Oliver was 16 years old 6 years ago than

James was 18 if he is 2 years older than Oliver.
