Question 1146315

The sum of the ages of Kevin and Rebecca is 54 years. 6 years ago, Kevin's age was 2 times Rebecca's age. How old is Kevin now?
<pre>Let Kevin's age be K
Then Rebecca's is 54 - K
We then get: K - 6 = 2(54 - K - 6)
K - 6 = 2(48 - K)
K - 6 = 96 - 2K
3K = 102
K, or Kevin is: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,4, 102/3, "=", 34, years-old))}}}
