Answer 2

Given:

Twenty years hence Ron will be five times as he was 36 years ago

To find:

Ron's present age.

Solution:

Let Ron's present age be x years.

Ron's age 20 years hence = x + 20

Ron's age 36 years ago = x - 36

Given that, twenty years hence Ron will be five times as he was 36 years ago

x + 20 = 5(x - 36)

x + 20 = 5x - 180

180 + 20 = 5x - x

200 = 4x

x = 50

Therefore, Ron's present age is 50 years.
