Question 1058634
Let J represent Julio's age, and let R represent Ramona's age.


Since the sum is 36, you can write:


J + R = 36


Then, since Julio's age is twice Ramona's age, you can write:


J = 2R


Substituting 2R in place of J in the first equation gives:


2R + R = 36


3R = 36


R = 12


Then J = 2R = 2(12) = 24


Solution: Julio's age is 24, and Ramona's age is 12.
