Question

Angie is x years old. Mandy is 22 years older than Angie. In 2 years’ time, Mandy will be twice Angie’s age. Calculate Angie and Mandy’s current age

Answer 1

Angie is 20, Mandy is 42.

Explanation:

Angie's current age = x

Mandy's current age = y, also x + 22

Mandy's age in 2 years = 2x+2

2x + 2 = x + 22

x + 2 = 22

x = 20

y = x + 22

y = 20 + 22

y = 42
