Question

Christopher is 20 years younger than Ishaan. Ishaan and Christopher first met two years ago. Fourteen years ago, Ishan was 3 times as old as Christopher

Answer 1

Christopher is 44 and ishaan is 24

Explanation:

So im guessing this question is asking how old they are now

if christopher is 20 years older he will always be 20 years older

so we need to find how old he was 14 years ago

he was 1/3rd the age meaning that 20 is 2/3s so that means that ishaan was 10 years old

then add 14 years and he is 24

Answer 2

Let Ishaan's age be x. Then, Christopher's age is x-20. These are their current ages.

14 years ago,

x-14 = 3(x-20-14) (we need to subtract 14 from both of their ages')

x - 14 = 3(x - 34)

x - 14 = 3x - 102

2x = 88

x = 44

Ishaan is 44 years old now.
