Rose is 25 years younger than her father. Five years ago, her father was twice as old as she will be 5 years from now. How old is Rose today
**
let x=Rose's age today
x+25=Father's age today
5 years ago:
Father's age=x+25-5=x+20
5 years from now:
Rose's age=x+5
..
(x+20)/(x+5)=2
2x+10=x+20
2x-x=20-10
x=10
ans:
Rose's age today=10
