Question

jose is now six years older than john. in two years jose will be twice as old as john. How old is john now.

Answer 1

John is currently 6 years old.

You can find this by setting John's original age as x and Jose's original age as x + 6. Then we can set up an equation adding two to both.

John's new age = x + 2

Jose's new age = x + 8

Now we can multiply John's new age by two and set equal to Jose's age, since Jose's new age is twice as much as John's.

2(x + 2) = x + 8

2x + 4 = x + 8

x + 4 = 8

x = 4

This means John's original age is 4 and his new age is 6.
