Question

Kevin is three years older than Daniel. Two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel.

How old is Kevin now?

Answer 1

I believe that Kevin is 6 years old now.

Explanation:

I used the guess and check method to figure this out.

First, I began by making Daniel 1 years old, two years ago. Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel two years ago, so he would be 4 at the time. Now, Daniel would be 3 and Kevin would be 6 years old. The statement that Kevin is three years older than Daniel would confirm this, because 6-3=3. Hope this helps, this is my first time answering:)
