Question 912520: Sophia's age is 4 years less than twice Monica's age. In two years, Monica will be three-quarters of sophia's age. How old is each girl? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x Monica's age
x + 2 = (3/4)[(2x-4) + 2)]
4x + 8 = 3(2x-2)
4x + 8 = 6x - 6
14 = 2x
7 = x, Monica's age. Sophia is 10
And...checking... 2 years from now
9 = (3/4)(12)
