Question

Jonathan is 27 years younger than Dre. Dre is two years younger than Jonathan's

age doubled. How old are Jonathan and Dre? *

Answer 1

Explanation:

j=d-27

d=2j-2, using j from above makes this equation become

d=2(d-27)-2

d=2d-54-2

d=2d-56

-d=-56

d=56, since j=d-27

j=56-27

j=29

So John is 29 and Dre is 56

Answer 2

Dre is 56 and Jonathan is 29
