Let the age of Rugem now be = x
\n" ); document.write( " So the age of Jerome now be = 4x ....... 4 times the age of Rugem\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " After 10 years, the ages of\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Rugem will be = x + 10
\n" ); document.write( " Jerome will be = 2(x + 10) ..........Twice the age of Rugem\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " As per the first equation,
\n" ); document.write( " the age of Jerome is = 4x +10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " So, 2(x +10) = 4x + 10
\n" ); document.write( " = 2x + 20 = 4x + 10
\n" ); document.write( " = 20 - 10 = 4x - 2x
\n" ); document.write( " = 2x = 10
\n" ); document.write( " = x = 10/2 = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " So the present age of Regem = 5 and
\n" ); document.write( " the present age of Jerome = 5*4 = 20 years Answer\r
