Question

Tom is 10 years younger than Becky. In two years, Becky will be twice as old as Tom. How old is Tom now?

(Please explain so I understand)

Answer 1

Answer:

Tom present age is 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Becky age = x

Tom age = 10 + x

After two years Becky will be twice of Tom

Tom age = 10 + x + 2

According to question

x = 10 + x + 2

x = 10 + 2

x= 12

The Tom present age is 12 years
