Question

Allen is 5 years older than Cassandra. In 4 years, he will be twice as old as Cassandra was 2 years ago. Find their ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

C = 13, A = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 5 + C

A + 4 = 2(c-2)  

5+c+4 = 2c - 4

9 + c = 2c - 4

c = 2c - 13  

-1c = -13

c = 13

A = 5 + 13  

A = 18
