Annilee's present age is two-thirds of Jessie's present age. In 12 years the sum of their ages will be 64 year. Find their present ages.
===========
Present age = age
----------
Annilee's age is two-thirds of Jessie's age. In 12 years the sum of their ages will be 64 year. Find their ages.
---
A = 2J/3
A+12 + J+12 = 64
A + J = 40
------
2J/3 + J = 40
5J/3 = 40
J = 24
A = 16
=====================
"present age" is superfluous.
We are our age, not out "present age."
----
It's similar to "where are you currently at?"
--> "Where are you?"
