Question

Diane is 23 years older than her daughter amy. in 6 years diane will be twice as old as amy. how old are they now?

Answer 1

Today In 6 years

Diane (D): = A + 23 (A + 23) + 6 = A + 29

Amy (A): A (A) + 6 = A + 6

A + 29 = 2(A + 6)

A + 29 = 2A + 12

29 = A + 12

17 = A

Diane (D): = A + 23 = (17) + 23 = 40

Answer: Diane = 40, Amy = 17
