Question

Jada’s babysitter is times Jada’s current age. In 5 years, Jada will be her

babysitter’s current age.
How many years old is Jada now?

Answer 1

5 years old there you go

Answer 2

5 years old.

Explanation:

Let's call Jada's current age "J" and the babysitter's current age "B".

From the information given, we know:

B = J (Jada's babysitter is J times Jada's current age)

J + 5 = B (In 5 years, Jada will be her babysitter's current age)

By substituting the first equation into the second equation:

J + 5 = J

5 = J

Therefore, Jada is currently 5 years old.
