Question

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

How old is Christopher now?

Answer 1

Answer: Yw :^

Step-by-step explanation: Present: Ishaan = Christopher + 20 - Equation 1

1 years back: Ishaan-14 = 3(Christopher-14) - Equation 2

Solve above equations:

I = 3c-42+14

I = 3c-24

I = c+20

2c-44 = 0

Christopher = 22 then from Equation 1

Ishaan = 22 + 20 = 42
