Question 773925: Please help me:
Ramon is six years older than Mark. In four years, Mark will be as old as Ramon. What are their present ages?
I don't know how to solve this but when I tried, the result is:
Ramon = 2 years old
Mark = -4 years old.
Which I knew was wrong.
I hope you can help me. Thanks. Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Unfortunately if Ramon is six years older than mark, then the sentence "In four years, Mark will be as old as Ramon" makes no sense at all. How can they go from being separated by age and then 4 years later be the same age? There's something wrong or missing here. Please repost. Thanks.
