You can put this solution on YOUR website! jay is 12 years older than mario. If mario's age 2 years from now is half jay's age six years from now, how ild will each be in 10 years?
...
let mario be x
Jay = x+12
...
2 years from now
Mario = x+2
6 years from now Jay's age
x+12+6
=x+18
...
x+2 = 1/2 (x+18)
2(x+2)=x+18
2x+4 = x+18
2x-x=18-4
x= 14 Mario's age now
x+12 = 14+12 = 26 years Jay's age
..
10 years later
Mario = 24 years
Jay = 36 years
