Question 1190875
<br>
Let x = King's age 4 years ago
Then 2x-3 = Noriel's age 4 years ago<br>
Since Noriel will be 6 years older than King 5 years from now, the difference in their ages is (always) 6:<br>
{{{(2x-3)-x=6}}}
{{{x-3=6}}}
{{{x=9}}}<br>
4 years ago, their ages were x=9 and 2x-3=15.<br>
ANSWERS: Their ages now are 9+4=13 and 15+4=19<br>
