Question 206403: rene is 5 older than angie, in 8 years 3 times angie's age will exceed twice rene's age by 10.find their ages. Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let r=rene's age and a=angies.
r=a+5
.
3(a+8)=2(r+8)+10
3a+24=2r+16+10
3a+24=2r+26
3a+24=2(a+5)+26 Replace r with a+5
3a+24=2a+10+26
a=12
r=17
