Joe is 3 times as old as Pepe In how many years will Joe be only twice as old as Pepe ? How old are they now? How old will they be? When will they be the same age?

Sagot :

Let x = Wally's age now

Then, 3x = Jose's age now

Wally's age 5 years from now = x+5

Jose's age 5 years from now = 3x+5

(x+5) + (3x+5) = 42

4x + 10 = 42

4x = 32 x = 8

Wally is 8 years old and Jose is 24.
