Herewith my question:" Timothy is 8 years older then his sister, in 5 years from now she will be half Timothy's age. How old is timothy and his sister now? "
By doing eliminations I know that Timothy's sister should be 3 years old because if she is 3 years old Timothy is 8 years older than her which makes him 11 years old. In 5 years time his sister will be 8 years old and Timothy will be 16 years old which is half of timothy's age.
My problem with the question is it counts for 6 marks and I have to give my answer as a equation that I worked out getting to the answer for their ages and I do not know where to start with the question since there are 2 unknown variables.
thank you in advance for your help
