Question

If Ivan adds his current age to the age he will be next year on this date, the sum is 79 years. How old will Ivan be 18 years from today?

Answer 1

He'll be 57 years old

Answer 2

Let's start by setting up an equation based on the given information.

Let Ivan's current age be x. Then his age next year will be x + 1.

We know that the sum of Ivan's current age and his age next year is 79:

x + (x + 1) = 79

Simplifying the equation, we get:

2x + 1 = 79

Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get:

2x = 78

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 39

So Ivan's current age is 39.

To find out how old Ivan will be 18 years from today, we can simply add 18 to his current age:

39 + 18 = 57

Therefore, Ivan will be 57 years old 18 years from today.
