Question

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara. In 6 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralph's age now.

If x represents Sarah's age now, which of the following expressions represents Ralph's age in six years?

2x
6x
2x + 6
3x + 6

Answer 1

X - S arah's age now

3x - Ralph is 3 times as old as Sarah, now

x+6 - Sarah's age in 6 years

2 (x+6) = 2x+12 - R alph will be only twice as old as Sarah will be in 6 years

Ralph's age in six year can be also written as 3x+6

So

Ralph's age now is 3x.

Ralph's age in six years is 2x+12 and 3x+6.

We can find age of Sara now,

2x+12=3x+6

3x-2x=12-6

x=6,

Ralph's age now is 3x=3*6=18

Now Sara is 6 years old, Ralph is 18 years old.
