Question 1126103

Devonte is {{{84}}} years younger than Ashton. 


{{{Ashton=Devonte +84}}}....eq.1


if {{{4}}} years ago, Ashton's age was {{{4}}} times Devonte's age, we have

{{{ Ashton-4=4*(Devonte-4)}}}

{{{ Ashton=4(Devonte-4)+4}}}

{{{ Ashton=4Devonte-16+4}}}

{{{ Ashton=4Devonte-12}}}....eq.2


from eq.1 and eq.2 we have

{{{Devonte +84=4Devonte-12}}}

{{{12 +84=4Devonte-Devonte}}}

{{{96=3Devonte}}}

{{{Devonte=96/3}}}

{{{Devonte=32}}}


 Devonte is {{{32}}} years old now
