Question

Presently, Victor is three times as old as Maria. Ten years ago, Victor was seven times as old as Maria. How old is each person now?

Answer 1

Explanation:

v = Victor's age

m = Maria's age

v = 3m

v - 10 = 7(m - 10)

3m - 10 = 7m - 70

60 = 4m

m = 15

v = 3m = 3×15 = 45

Victor is 45 years old. Maria is 15 years old.
