Question

In 2 years i will be twice as old as i was 20 years ago how old am I?

Answer 1

You are going to be 40 years old.
Twice = 2
2 times 20 is 40.

Answer 2

I am 42 years old

Explanation:

Given : In 2 years i will be twice as old as i was 20 years ago.

To Find : Current age

Solution :

Let the current age be x years.

After two years i will be (x+2) years

20 years ago i was (x-20)years

Since we are given that in 2 years i will be twice as old as i was 20 years ago.

⇒
`x+2 = 2 (x-20)`

⇒
`x+2 = 2x-40`

⇒
`40+2 = 2x-x`

⇒
`42 = x`

Thus my current age 'x' = 42 years.

Hence i am 42 years old
