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

Explanation:

"In three years, Tonya will be 17."

14 + 3 = 17, so Tonya is 14 atm. (At The Moment)

"Tonya is twice Kevin's age." Kevin is 7, because 7 x 2 = 14.

"In another three years, Uncle Rob will be three times Tonya's age."

Since Tonya is 14, multiply 14 x 3 and you get 42.

If you're asking for the three years, 17 x 3 = 51 < Uncle Rob's age

Kevin is about 8 1/2 years old. Since 8 x 2 = 16, I multiplied 8 1/2 x 2 and got 17.

I hope this helped.
