<PRE><B>Question 1117978</B>
Scott is four times older than Beth. In six years from now Scott will only be three times older than Beth. Write down equation to describe the relationship between their ages. Now solve the equation to find out how old each of them is now
----
Now:
S = 5B
In 6 years:
S + 6 = 3*(B + 6)
===================
Sub for C
5B + 6 = 3B + 18
2B = 12
B = 6
S = 30
