Question

Tonya is twice Kevin's age. In three years, Tonya will be 17. And in another three years, Uncle Rob will be three times Tonya’s age.

Today, Kevin is ____years old, and Uncle Rob ___is years old.

Answer 1

To find Kevin's age, subtract 17 by 3 to find how old Kevin is, which is 7. Then, to find Uncle rob's age, add 17 plus 3 to get 20, then multiply that by 3 to see how old Uncle Rob will be, which is 60.Then, subtract 6 from 60 to get 54.The final answer is that Kevin is 7 years old, and Uncle Rob is 54 years old. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Today, Kevin is 7 years old, and Uncle Rob 54 is years old.

Explanation:

Tonia will be 17 years old in 3 years, so, to get Tonia´s age now, make 17-3. She is 14 years old today.

As Tonia twice the age of Kevin, so, Kevin´s age is the actual age of Tonia divided by 2. That will be 14/2=7

To get Uncle´s age , we start at 17 years of Tonia, We must added it 3 years, so she will be 20 years old. Remember we have added 6 years from today.

Then, if uncles will be three times Tonia´s age, that will be =20*3=60.

Now, 6 years before, he is 60-6 =54 years
