.
John is 19 years older than Whitney. In 6 years John will be 2 times Whitney age. How old is each now?
~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
In 6 years, two events will happen simultaneously:


   
    John will be 19 years older than Whitney  AND  John will be 2 times Whitney age.



It means that in 6 years John will be 38 years old, while Whitney will be 19 years old.


Hence, now they are 38-6 = 32 (John)  and  19-6 = 13 (Whitney) years old.   <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.
