Five years ago, Fleur was half the age she will be in 8 years. How old is she now?
------
Equation:
(f-5)= (1/2)(f+8)
f-5 = (1/2)f+4
(1/2)f = 9
Fleur = 18 yrs (Fleur's age now)
===================================
Molly is twice as old as Tonks. The sum of their ages is 5 times Tonks? age, less 48. How old is Tonks?
Equations:
m = 2t
m + t = 5t-48
---
Substitute and solve for "t":
2t+t = 5t-48
-2t = -48
Tonk is 24 yrs old now
