Raul is x years old now, and Phil is 8 years older than Raul. In 2 years, Phil will be exactly twice as old as Raul is then. How old is Raul now?

A. 3
B. 5
C. 6
D. 8
E. 10

I'll be happy to check your answer.

Yes. I got D, but I'm not sure.

If Raul is 8 and Phil is 8 years older, than Phil is now 16.

In 2 years, Raul will be 10 and Phil will be 18. OOps! That doesn't work.

Please try again.

So it's C? Thanks!

It's not C? I got C

Nevrmnd sry!

sry sry sry!!!

Okay. No problem!

If Raul is 6, then Phil is 14

In two years they'll be 8 and 16. Yep, C is correct.

Wow thx this was pretty insightful
