Aaron is 5 years younger than Ron. Four years later, Ron will be twice as old as Aaron. Find their present ages.

Aaron’s present age = x - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ron’s present age be x.  

Then Aaron’s present age = x - 5

After 4 years Ron’s age = x + 4, Aaron’s age x - 5 + 4.  

According to the question;  

Ron will be twice as old as Aaron.  

Therefore, x + 4 = 2(x - 5 + 4)  

⇒ x + 4 = 2(x - 1)  

⇒ x + 4 = 2x - 2

⇒ x + 4 = 2x - 2

⇒ x - 2x = -2 - 4

⇒ -x = -6

⇒ x = 6

Therefore, Aaron’s present age = x - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
