Question 704455: Please help me to solve this problem with the help of algebra equation. Thanks
Problem:
Four years ago Asim was twice as old as Mano. Now the difference in their ages is 11. Find Mano's present age.
Answer by CubeyThePenguin(3113) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A = Asim's current age
M = Mano's current age

A - 4 = 2(M - 4)
A - M = 11

Rearrange to get A = M + 11. Now, substitute and solve for M.

M + 11 - 4 = 2M - 8
M + 7 = 2M - 8
15 = M

Mano is currently 15 years old.
