Question 1173816: The sum of Alexis and Patrick's current ages is 67.
Five years ago, Alexis was 3 years older than Patrick was then.
How old are each of them now? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A+P=67. If A was 3 years older than P 5 years ago, he still is today. It isn't clear if one means 5 years ago, Alexis's age now is 3 years more than Patrick was then. I didn't solve it that way.
A=P+3
2P=64
P=32 now
A=35 now
