Question 1150476
Rommie is 10 years older than Lady. In 10 years, the product of their ages is twice the product of their present ages. How old is Lady 5 years from now?
<pre>NO WAY should this problem be that complex and "novel-like" as the other person makes it out to be.
<b><u>CORRECT APPROACH:</b></u>
Let Lady's current age be L
Then Rommie's is L + 10
Based on the given info., (L + 10)(L + 1O + 10) = 2L(L + 10)
(L + 10)(L + 20) = 2L(L + 10) 
L + 20 = 2L ----- Factoring out GCF, L + 10
20 = 2L - L
20 = L, or Lady's current age
With Lady being 20, in 5 years, she'll be: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,4, 20 + 5, "=", 25, years-old))}}}
