Matthew is six years older than April. Next year he will be twice as old. How old are they both now?

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Matthew be x years old now. April is thus x-6 years old now.

Next year, Matthew will be x+1 years old and April will be x-5 years old.

x+1 = 2(x-5)

x+1 = 2x - 10

x=11

Thus Matthew is 11 while April is 5.
