In 10 years, Mr. Yen will be twice as old as his daughter. Their ages now add up to 61. How old is each person.
Can you show me all the steps because I have a unit test tmw:) thankyou
present:
daughter ---- x
Mr. Yen ----- 61 -x
10 years from now:
daughter -- x+10
Mr. Yesn -- 61-x +10 = 71-x
at that time, he will be twice as old as she
71-x = 2(x+10)
71-x = 2x + 20
-3x = -51
x = 51/3 = 17
right now she is 17 and he is 44
check:
17+44 = 61 , checks
in 10 years she will be 27
in 10 years he will be 54
is 54 twice 26 ?
Yeahhh!
